Notes: Some terms listed with a plus sign represent combinations of words that, when used together, acknowledge transgender people, which is not in keeping with the current federal government’s position that there are only two, immutable sexes. Any term collected above was included on at least one agency’s list, which does not necessarily imply that other agencies are also discouraged from using it.

Now we know their trigger words.

who else thinks we should just write in our preferred gender if it's not on forms, such as at hospital check in and stuff? or would that actually be suicidal? 🙃

I did Nazi this coming.

“Orwell would be shocked his story came true”

If I worked there, I'd be tempted to write a program that would scan and replace some characters with Unicode/international similar characters. So for example, instead of "DEI" it would become "DẸI".

"No sir, 'DEI' isn't anywhere on site."

Well, at least they're censoring "biological male/female." Such a stupid phrase.
