Late last week, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed an executive order banning “woke, anti-women words” in state documents.
“It’s the left that decided that ‘woman’ is a dirty word,” Sanders said at the signing. “It’s the left that decided we needed basic biology and basic grammar along with it.”
“Women are women,” the executive order states. “Government should reject language that ignores, undermines, and erases women. Government should celebrate gender distinctions between men and women — not erase them.”
From The National Review:
The executive order prohibits all state offices, departments, boards, and commissions from using the words and terms Governor Sanders described as “ridiculous.” Effective immediately, “exclusionary and sexist terms” are to be replaced with “accurate, female-affirming alternatives.”
The newly banned terminology includes “menstruating person,” “menstruating people,” “birth-giver,” “womxn,” “womyn,” “laboring person,” “birthing person,” “human milk,” “chestfeeding,” “body fed,” and “person fed.”
Instead, the state must use alternatives such as “woman,” “women,” “birth mom,” “breast milk,” “breastfeeding,” “breastfed,” “pregnant women,” “pregnant mom,” or “birth mom.”
“Today, we’re taking a stand against woke nonsense,” Sanders said at the signing. “What frankly started as a fad among a few grad students has seeped down into corporations, the health-care industry, and increasingly, state government.”
