"Terms to be struck from clause 8(c)(3) of rule XXIII, the House’s Code of Official Conduct, as outlined in the proposed rules (pdf), include “father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, first cousin, nephew, niece, husband, wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother, stepsister, half brother, half sister, grandson, [and] granddaughter.”
So they are just rolling over and giving in to the the agenda of the most extreme wing of transgender activists. The attempt to strike the above terms is a refutation of the idea of biological sex. They think they can remove with legislation and social pressure what they cant with objective science. This is the folly spawned by the postmodernism and gender feminism that has hijacked too many universities.
If the republicans were not themselves so unbearably stupid and corrupt , the Dems would have no shot at winning office.
They're eliminating those words and replacing them with the words ‘‘parent, child, sibling, parent’s sibling, first cousin, sibling’s child, spouse, parent in-law, child-in-law, sibling-in-law, stepparent, step5 child, stepsibling, half-sibling, or grandchild.’’
BECAUSE the majority of the population is OK with their biology and have better things to do than spend 20 minutes trying to figure out what THEY want to be called, and what part of their anatomy they dont want, and how not to insult THEM. good lord
Despite the anti conservative bias in the way this article was written it is correct. Forcing woke culture ideals onto the silane majority when they make up 1% of the population will backfire. They wonder why they lost seats in the house. They act like it was such as accomplishment to beat Trump...that's a pretty low bar you guys set for yourselves.
"Hello. Just calling to say Offspring 1 told me Parent 2 was going to be late picking up Offspring 2 from school. So, you might want to let Parent 1 know to wait on dinner. K? Thanks!"
Nothing. My preferred pronouns are she and her. What does Congress call me? Hint: not they. I am only one person, though having a clone or two would often be helpful.
If I know someone wants to be called they, I will do it.

Admittedly, this is the sort of nonsense that makes a moderate democrat like me CRINGE. We are supposed to eliminate gender entirely because a minority feel left out? B.S.
