Trump Admin bans the use of 200 words and phrases

[ronnie50]

NYT story last week" it has 200 words that NYT has found from government memos etc., indicating which words are verboten.

You can read it - it's erasing DEI wording mostly. But what jumped out at me is the erasure of 'woman' and 'female' - no restrictions on the use of 'men' or 'male' that I could see.

 

How can they erase the words woman and female from government documents? What about birth certificates? What about other standard referencces?

 

Weird.

According to progressives, "woman" and "female" can't be defined.

 

 

When asked to define “woman” by Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn, she replied, “I can’t…I’m not a biologist.”

 

"I don't understand what you mean," Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet, D-Mich

 

Rep. Herb Conaway said defining a woman is 'a more complicated question than one might know'

You are lying.

 

Read the article YOU yourself cited.

 

 

The Words Federal Agencies Are Discouraged From Using Under Trump

"...agencies have flagged hundreds of words to limit or avoid,..."

 

 

Or did you miss that the word "barrier" is on the list?

Does this mean no more big, beeyootiful wall?

So, ummm, is Trump gonna haf'ta rescind his ezzekativ order, and remove it from the WHite house website?

And golly gosh gee whiz!  It even comes with definitions!

 

(b)  “Women” or “woman” and “girls” or “girl” shall mean adult and juvenile human females, respectively.

 

Oh sure, but what's a femayle?  Isn't it complicated?

 

(d)  “Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.
