Farewell to freshman - Washington State to remove 40,000 pieces of legislation of 'gender biased language'...but manhole survives
This week new laws will come into effect in Washington State to form the final piece of a six-year effort to rewrite all state laws using gender-neutral vocabulary.
The politically correct crusade will see terms such as 'fisherman', 'freshman' and even 'journeyman plumber' replaced with 'fisher', 'first-year-student' and 'journey-level plumber'.
Signalling an end to hundreds of years of accepted language, the move will now see the state's copious laws, including thousands of words and phrases re-written at tax-payers expense.

Washington Purges “Fisherman”, “Freshman” and “Clergyman” From the Dictionary
As stupid as it gets. Those are not “gendered” terms - is “human” also banned?
Just another example of how liberalism is a mental disorder.
Liberalism is a serious psychosis, and the whole Western half of this state is infected.
I imagine its because gays are fond of that word.

So what? Now we will have Freshpersons? Frankly that sounds more sexist than Freshman. How long until they remove Man and Woman? Sorry I prefer a world where I am sure of the gender I am dealing with, you know... Man, Woman, Fruit.
huperson.
You couldn’t do this if the language were Spanish... Just sayin’
Did we change hysterectomy to HERsterectomy?

That’s terrible! It’s long past time to call it a personhole.
Does this mean that Her Thighness will no longer berate a male by telling him to “man up?” Will she now spout out that the guy in question oughta “person up?”
Give a person enough rope and he or she will hang him or herself.
Does this mean that Its Thighness will no longer berate a thing by telling it to “man up?” Will it now spout out that the thing in question oughta “slave up?
There fixed.
Also I am sensing a dog whistle in here between your comment on its thighs and it calling someone a chicken.
Doubleplus good!
Just shred the applications of the few males who still want to attend college. Instant no-more-freshman! Social justice! Payback for centuries of patriarchal oppression! Who could possibly object?
A woman is now a woperson?
