Feds to Spend Millions to Remove “He” and “She” from Regs to Avoid “Gender Binary”

From our friends at Hypeline.org:

By Stephen Rowe

In an effort to ‘avoid the gender binary,’ the Labor Department proposed a new rule that seeks to remove the pronouns ‘he’ and ‘she’ from an anti-discrimination regulation.

And it will cost taxpayers roughly $4 million dollars.

It also updates the list of things that count as banned discrimination under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to include “sex stereotyping, transgender status, and gender identity.”

Townhall reports:

The rule would update the nondiscrimination provisions of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, a law which “forbids groups that receive program funding to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, political affiliation or believe, and, for beneficiaries only, citizenship status”.

 

To this end, the rule proposes to replace pronouns with “the individual,” “person,” and other identifiers that avoid the gender binary.

 

These changes, which have been deemed “necessary” by the agency, will cost taxpayers roughly $4 million, given all the new equal opportunity posters that will need to be updated and disseminated.

“Our nation’s workforce system should reflect our commitment to diversity and the idea that America works best when we field a full team,” Labor Secretary Thomas E. Perez saidduring his announcement about the changes.

Much of the taxpayer funds will be used to create the new equal opportunity posters that need to be updated and disseminated due to this effort.
