Labor Department adds 'transgender status, gender identity' to workplace discrimination list
The Department of Labor is seeking to remove the terms "he" and "she" from a regulation prohibiting discrimination in the workforce in an effort to "avoid the gender binary."
The agency is also adding "sex stereotyping, transgender status, and gender identity" to the list of types of employment discrimination banned under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. If adopted, the regulation would cost job training centers millions of dollars to change their equal employment opportunity posters to include "gender identity."

So apparently it never dawned on this guy that asking your wife to join you at a sex club is a bad idea?

I suggest modifying the PDF reader utility.
When a document is read, ‘he’ and ‘she’ are ‘translated’ to ‘it’, or whatever current PC fad is correct.
That way all the documents don’t have to be edited or globally changed. The changing is done on the fly.
Good news is that the govt can now continuously update the reader utility to ‘translate’ whatever new offensive word needs fixing.
Like ‘black’ or ‘white’ or ‘stupid’ or ‘fat’ or ‘retarded’, etc.
This would put Winston Smith out of a job.

Gender belongs to words, sex to people. And sex is binary. Live with it!

How are employees supposed to sue for gender discrimination if there are no genders? Trial lawyers will probably object to this change; it hurts their industry.

Feds Propose Removing 'He' and 'She' from Regulation to 'Avoid the Gender Binary'I am sure that the moron bureaucrat (probably pervert) has no clue of the original definition of the word , much less understand it.
Just throw in psychobabble and it sounds to the electorate as deep and impressive proposals.
(The average IQ of the electorate has been dropping steadily since the 50s...)

Keep “He” and “She” and just add “It”.
