[WIRE] The Department of the Interior published a guide to "inclusive language," exclusively obtained by The Daily Wire, that tells bureaucrats to avoid gendered terms like "husband," "son," and "daughter," and even instructs them to use the "they/them" pronouns for individuals rather than assume someone’s gender.
The 24-page document, called the U.S. Department of the Interior Inclusive Language Guide and published this month "for official use only," was published this month and details what terms bureaucrats should use or avoid when discussing gender and sexuality.
The guide includes a list of 104 different terms that the Interior recommends bureaucrats replace with alternate, approved words. "Husband" and "wife," for example, should be replaced with "spouse, partner, significant other," the federal agency says. "Daughter" and "son" should also be replaced with "child" or "kid" according to the guide, which even asks bureaucrats to replace "cockpit" with "flight deck."
The revelation comes as the executive agencies of federal government have been transformed under the Biden administration, with agencies from Interior to the National Security Agency embracing and institutionalizing the diversity, equity, and inclusion agenda.
Another section of the guide asks bureaucrats to use "identity-first" language, substituting "blind person" and "amputee," with "a person who is blind," and "a child with an amputation." The Interior guide even tells bureaucrats to refrain from assuming anyone’s gender and to instead refer to everyone with the pronouns "they/them" to "avoid making assumptions."
