Banning ‘Woke’ Words in State Documents, Arkansas Governor Signs Executive Order

[We Never Know]

Wouldn't bother me if they banned "cis" also


"Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed an executive order on Thursday prohibiting “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......

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,” “breast fed,” “pregnant women,” “pregnant mom,” or “birth mom.”

America needs some sort of declaration of freedom of speech. Heck, make it an Amendment of the Constitution even.

Fun fact:
"Following the January 6 United States Capitol attack, the editor of Forbes warned corporations against hiring Sanders and other Trump "propagandists", writing, "Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie." "

If people wouldn't try to relabel what a woman or man are it wouldn't be needed.
Should I assume its a waste of government dollars when transgender laws are written?

Were people getting confused by what the words meant?

I'm confused by the question. Are you asking my permission?

Motherhood is something sacred in our society, and of course you can't take that from women.
Only women can be called mothers. Because only women can deliver a child through their own reproductive system.

Only women can be called mothers.

Not true. Shaft is a bad mother...

"Were people getting confused by what the words meant?"

Evidently if they needed to change them to “birth-giver,” “womxn,” “womyn,” “laboring person,” “birthing person,”

exclusionary and sexist terms

Death by irony.

Better question...
Why the words “woman,” “women,” “birth mom,” “breast milk,” “breastfeeding,” “breast fed,” “pregnant women,” “pregnant mom" why did they need to be changed?

Who said anything about getting rid of words. Is that the purpose of the banning? Were "woman," "breast milk," and "mom" being banned in favor if the new words? If so, I missed that part.

I would imagine because there were those that self-identified with "ridiculous" words.

Did you hear that everyone? Woman is a dirty word now. Said no one... Radicalized Republicans attacking free speech.

 

[Quintessence]

So how are we supposed to talk about pregnant persons who aren't women, exactly?

Rhetorical question - we'll do it anyway, because this "law" is a walking first amendment violation that won't last the decade.
