One thing I found in the Telegraph version was this:
www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/04/17/house-lords-staff-told-avoid-offensive-terms-manpower/
"Chiefs of MI5, MI6 and GCHQ have also told staff to avoid using words such as “manpower” because these can “reinforce dominant cultural patterns”.
The document’s author, Sir Stephen Lovegrove, the national security adviser, writes: “This toolkit is called Mission Critical because a diverse and inclusive culture is critical to succeeding in our national security missions.”
In a section on inclusive language, it says: “In national security, look out for words and phrases, such as ‘strong’ or ‘grip’, that reinforce the dominant cultural patterns. Avoid jargon, hierarchy or gender biases.”
Another says: “Use gender-neutral language to reflect people’s diversity and reduce stereotypes and assumptions, for example about job roles and functions which need not be gender-defined.”
A Whitehall spokesman said the guidance would be included in core training. “They are fundamental to the national security of the UK,” they added."
I have never heard of "grip" or "strong" being offensive or to be avoided. I'd be interested to know where that's from.
The rest is the same old garbage. I somehow doubt using "gender-neutral" terms will be the big thing that helps us in Ukraine for example.
