Use ‘parent’s sibling’ instead of ‘uncle’: Biden’s Department of the Interior releases ‘Inclusive Language Guide’

The Department of the Interior has released a 24-page guide instructing bureaucrats to use “inclusive language” to prevent and combat discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation. The guide instructs individuals to avoid using gendered terms like “uncle” or “aunt” and to use “parent’s sibling” instead. 

Obtained by the Daily Wire, the guide suggested using inclusive, bias-free language and provided a list of over 100 terms as alternatives to gender-specific terms. For instance, it recommended replacing “husband” and “wife” with “spouse,” “partner,” or “significant other,” and using “flight deck” instead of “cockpit.” It also suggested referring to the “different sex” rather than the “opposite sex” and describing a “gay” person as an “LGBTQIA+ person.”
