Democrats seek to eliminate gendered terms in the House Login/Join

The Democratic majority in the House has proposed sweeping changes to language used in the chamber, eliminating gendered terms including "mother" and "husband."

The proposed rule package seeks to “honor all gender identities” by striking words including “seaman,” “chairman,” “father,” “mother,” “sister,” “husband,” and “wife” from use and replacing them with gender-neutral terms including “seafarer,” “chair,” “parent,” “child,” and “sibling.”

The resolution, proposed Friday by Rep. James McGovern, the chairman of the House Rules Committee, will be voted on after the 117th Congress is sworn in on Sunday.

If passed, the package will also strike the use of “himself and herself” in favor of the term “themself,” and track the “diversity” of witnesses appearing before House panels.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi praised the “visionary rules package,” saying it a statement the package “reflects the views and values of the full range of our historically diverse House Democratic Majority.”

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy mocked the proposed changes, calling them “stupid,” while Representative-elect Marjorie Taylor Green called the measures a “blatant denial of truth” and an “attack on families.”

The new rules will also make the Office of Diversity and Inclusion a permanent body and require committees to discuss “how committee work over the forthcoming Congress will address issues of inequities on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, or national origin.”

Of course these are the most pressing issues we face today. Way to prioritize dickheads.

Not to mention promoting the incorrect use of the plural "themselves", instead of the singular "his or her self".

For democrats, we should use the terms "it" and "itself" because they are proving that they lack the brainpower to be considered human.

Yep. If we had a 'real' media instead of the moronic, retard, sycophants we have today, every one of these stupid and worthless pandering exercises would be met with the question..."And how doe this address Covid issues, get the country re-started, and make the lives of millions of taxpayers better?" The Dem's are nothing but pure garbage at this point and a clear and present danger to the future of this country.

Perhaps start simply with a new salutation on all congressional correspondence. Instead of "The Honorable...", we should more accurately use, "The Retarded...".

Part of the social justice mandate.

My concern is this is a taste of things to come.

She doesn't pray. She thinks the Pope should be praying to her.
