Who writes official documents with the words mom and dad in them?

But yeah this does feed into the culture war bull****, gives Rush Limbaugh or whomever took his place something to **** off his listeners with

I wonder how many months of meetings they had over this momentus change.
The impact to America will be deeply felt for many years to come.

Now, if I posted this list of prohibited words I would be accused of trolling. Perhaps I should run for elected office?

Uhhhhhhh the term "mother" and "father" i'm sure is used A LOT in writing bills.

Things related to immigration, healthcare, legal guardianship, taxes, etc. etc. etc.

Is this question a joke?

But you do have words like "Chairman", "he/she", "himself/herself", etc.

Go read the source document yourself..I posted a link to the PDF right off the .gov site.

Congress has become gender phobic.

After researching the issue, these "rules" seem to be pretty normal in most states and nobody really cares, which I didn't even know about TBH

Nope. I'm a rational person that points out the misinformation that you are spreading.
