Removing ‘He’ and ‘She’ From Regs to Avoid Gender NormsThe pronouns “he” and “she” were too heteronormative for the Department of Labor when it introduced a new anti-discrimination regulation last year.
The agency proposed removing the terms “he” and “she” from a regulation in an effort to “avoid the gender binary.” The rule also added “sex stereotyping, transgender status, and gender identity” to the list of types of discriminatory behavior prohibited under a federal job training program.
The rule was finalized in December, and “gender-specific terminology” from the law was removed, including any reference to “he or she,” “him or her,” and “his or her.”
