Planned Parenthood Lists ‘7 Ways to Be Gender-Inclusive in Your Language' |
2018-11-16 |
[Breitbart] To celebrate "Trans Awareness Week," abortion giant Planned Parenthood has released seven linguistic tips to help gender-sensitive individuals use terms that will not offend members of the LGBTQ "community." Partnering with GLAAD ‐ formerly the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation ‐ Planned Parenthood has taken political correctness to a new level, leaving behind feminist inclusivity to remove all references to men or women out respect of for those who are neither. Thus, the self-anointed language police have determined that "boys and girls" should give way to the more generic "children," while "his or her" should now be the more capacious (but numerically suspect) "their." In their "Beyond the Binary" campaign, Planned Parenthood not only proposes ousting male-leaning terms like "guys" in favor of the more open-ended "folks," but they suggest that any limitation of human beings to the restrictive categories of male and female is inappropriate. So, "the lady in the red shirt" should now be phrased, "the person in the red shirt," presumably to prevent people from thinking that a person’s gender is inferable from "their" biological sex. |

#3 Don't dare "her" Roberta, er, Bertie, Or flirt, or assert that they're purty Or sturdy or dirty Or curt or too wordy. Beware, or they're sure to get shirty! |

#2 "the person in the red shirt," Or, more usefully but wordily, 'the person with bumps under their red shirt but not their pants.' |
