The Language Police Strike Again

These continual instructions and indoctrinations get more and more laughable. Sorry, I'm still not about to change my use of ordinary words to cater to your delusions. 

They say "the language we use matters" -- except when it's your regular language, and then they demand you use their contrived language!

Here's the latest ridiculousness:

Vermont asks public to stop calling kids 'son' and 'daughter' to promote 'health equity'

"MONTPELIER, Vt. (TND) — The Vermont Department of Health on Wednesday asked the public to avoid referring to children as “son” or “daughter” and instead use gender-neutral language.

"The suggestion is included in a social media post about “inclusive language for families.” That post also encouraged use of the term “family members” rather than “household members” to include incarcerated individuals, step siblings and the like.

“The language we use matters!” the department wrote. “When talking about family, it's important to use terms that cover the many versions of what family can look like.”

"Included in the post is a link to sign up for the department’s Health Equity Newsletter.

"VDH lists several social justice pillars on its website as key values to the state department. These include equity, inclusion and harmony.

“We aim to center health justice and address racism and all forms of oppression in our programs and policies, our approach to collaboration, and how we build and nurture our workforce,” the site reads in part."
