Leaders in the House of Representatives announced on Friday a rules package for the 117th Congress that includes a proposal to use “gender-inclusive language” and eliminate gendered terms such as “‘father, mother, son, daughter,” and more.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Rules Committee Chairman James McGovern (D-Mass.) announced on Friday that the rules package includes changes that would “honor all gender identities by changing pronouns and familial relationships in the House rules to be gender neutral.”
A separate announcement from McGovern (pdf) said that the Democratic rules package will make “Changes [to] pronouns and familial relationships in the House rules to be gender-neutral or removes references to gender, as appropriate, to ensure we are inclusive of all Members, Delegates, Resident Commissioners and their families—including those who are nonbinary.”
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.”
Such terms would be replaced with “parent, child, sibling, parent’s sibling, first cousin, sibling’s child, spouse, parent-in-law, child-in-law, sibling-in-law, stepparent, stepchild, stepsibling, half-sibling, [and] grandchild.”

What unbelievably ******* BULL**** this is!
The Democrats are getting weirder and weirder by the moment!
Ostracize and shun all liberal democrats in the communities where they reside. They are no longer ‘American’ and the message it would send would be profound.
Oh no! Will SCOTIAGIRL survive this?
Well now we know what Congress is doing with the information they get from smart toilets. They gather it and produce like minded and politically correct legislation. Mystery solved. We can sleep better at night. Now Mr. Taylor can be prouder he lost than Ms. Luria can be that she won.
Scotiagirl has thought about this a lot since the Democrats have decided to blur or even eliminate all words that refer to “gender”. All of you out there, be you Democrats, Republicans, Bernie -Bros, Independents, Aliens of any type, make no mistake: Scotiagirl is proudly female, all woman, a daughter, sister, wife, lover, temptress, seductress and whatever it may take to make you feel like the man she hopes you are.
What is she wearing…?
Okay, sounds good to me, anyway; it is America, afterall and you should be able to feel the way you want to feel.
I am so ashamed of our politicians. I love my country but ashamed of our government employees.
Ooops, not “S” but still SCOTIAGIRL…She needs to be recognised as the “come here” she is happy to be!
Ignorance is truly bliss in a Land of Fools.
