24-page internal document calls to replace terms like 'cockpit' with 'flight deck,' use 'they/them' as default pronouns to not assume gender
=====================================================================
The Department of the Interior published a guide to “inclusive language,” exclusively obtained by The Daily Wire, that tells bureaucrats to avoid gendered terms like “husband,” “son,” and “daughter,” and even instructs them to use the “they/them” pronouns for individuals rather than assume someone’s gender.
The 24-page document, called the U.S. Department of the Interior Inclusive Language Guide and published this month “for official use only,” was published this month and details what terms bureaucrats should use or avoid when discussing gender and sexuality.
The guide includes a list of 104 different terms that the Interior recommends bureaucrats replace with alternate, approved words. “Husband” and “wife,” for example, should be replaced with “spouse, partner, significant other,” the federal agency says. “Daughter” and “son” should also be replaced with “child” or “kid” according to the guide, which even asks bureaucrats to replace “cockpit” with “flight deck.”
The revelation comes as the executive agencies of federal government have been transformed under the Biden administration, with agencies from Interior to the National Security Agency embracing and institutionalizing the diversity, equity, and inclusion agenda.
Another section of the guide asks bureaucrats to use “identity-first” language, substituting “blind person” and “amputee,” with “a person who is blind,” and “a child with an amputation.” The Interior guide even tells bureaucrats to refrain from assuming anyone’s gender and to instead refer to everyone with the pronouns “they/them” to “avoid making assumptions.”

“When referring to individuals whose identified pronouns are not known or when the gender of a generic or hypothetical person is irrelevant within the context, use their name or a singular ‘they’ to avoid making assumptions about an individual’s gender,” the document reads. “It is recommended to use ‘they,’ ‘them,’ ‘their,’ for example. In informal writing, such as emails, plural pronouns may be used as a shortcut to ensure gender inclusiveness.”
The plural pronoun is said to be a superior alternative to the phrase “he or she,” because it implies “an exclusively binary nature of gender and exclude individuals who do not use these pronouns like gender non-conforming people.” Phrases such as “ladies and gents” are seen as problematic, with the document asking speakers to instead address crowds with “hey team.”
Interior asks bureaucrats to go to even greater lengths to avoid “terms that imply binaries” like “opposite sex” and “opposite gender,” because “some individuals do not identify with either gender or these phrases would then ignore the existence of those individuals.”
It even states that bureaucrats should avoid using the term “preferred pronouns” since it implies that gender identity is a choice. “Pronoun use requires specificity and care on the user’s part, and staff should always use the person’s identified pronouns,” the document states. “Staff should refrain from the term ‘preferred pronouns’ because it implies a choice about one’s gender. Use ‘pronouns’ or ‘identified pronouns’ instead.” It also advises eliminating the use of gendered honorifics entirely, saying titles like “Mr.” and “Ms.” should always be forgone.

The guide also suggests elimination the following words and phrases:
Replace “Aunt/Uncle” with “Parent’s sibling”
Replace “male” with “all genders”
Replace “ladies” with “everyone”
Replace “gay” with “LGBTQIA+ person”
Replace “transgender” with “transgender person”
Replace “opposite sex” with “different sex”
Replace “woman/women” with “person, people, individual, individuals”
Replace “sex change” with “transition”
Replace “father/mother” with “parent, caregiver, care provider”
Interior did not respond to a request for comment.
Interior’s guide to inclusive language is just one way in which the agency has embraced and far-left dogma and embedded it in its policies and practices. The federal agency is also celebrating pride month with a lesson on “LGBTQ American Sign Language” where bureaucrats will be taught sign language for “ally,” “drag queen,” and other LGBT vocabulary terms.
Daily Wire host Matt Walsh previously revealed that bureaucrats at the DOI performed a poem called “I am Diversity” in which the government employees recited lines like “I’m diversity, embrace me and we’ll journey far. I’m diversity, include me and we’ll reach the shining star.”
The same department also celebrated “transgender day of visibility” by showing a documentary pushing for increased LGBT inclusion in the field of marine biology, the Daily Wire previously revealed.
“Transgender Day of Visibility is an internationally recognized event that is celebrated annually on March 31st to help raise awareness and increase understanding of the challenges, importance and struggles of our transgender, non-binary and gender non-conforming communities,” an email obtained by The Daily Wire states. “The Department will mark this important occasion by showing a short documentary called ‘Diving for Rays: A Queer Conservationist’s Story.”
One far-left bureaucrat, an associate communications director at the White House, was recently promoted from his former post as the communications director for the DOI. Named Tyler Cherry, the Biden administration official has a troubling social media history. “Time to recall that the modern day police system is a direct evolution of slave patrols and lynch mobs,” Cherry posted to X, formerly Twitter, in 2015. “Praying for #Baltimore, but praying even harder for an end to a capitalistic police state motivated by explicit and implicit racial biases,” he also said.
Cherry, who crossdresses and identifies as non-binary, also tweeted “Abolish ICE,” making a call to disband a law enforcement component within the Department of Homeland Security that plays a critical role in enforcing immigration law. The communications official also made posts complaining about white people and “the occupation of Palestine.”
The DOI is just one of several federal agencies that has swung to the left and institutionalized ideological dogma under the Biden administration.
President Joe Biden has signed multiple executive orders institutionalizing the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) ideology within the federal agencies and has even worked to enable gender transition attempts among government employees.
Former President Donald Trump has pledged to purge far-left bureaucrats who may otherwise undermine his agenda from his executive agencies if he is reelected in November. “We will pass critical reforms making every executive branch employee fireable by the President of the United States,” Trump said at a rally, touting his plan. “The deep state must be brought to heel.”
Trump’s allies are preparing to fill the void left by outgoing bureaucrats, with the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 assembling a personnel database that could step into the administration in the event of a Trump victory.

No thanks. I speak English.
Cherry, who crossdresses and identifies as non-binary
is it possible for a non-binary to crossdress?
XEROX will be very UNHAPPY
HOW MANY ENGLISH WORDS END ....ALY or ALLY.
NO. Just NO!
They are trying to destroy all connections between people that they do not control. And too often succeeding.
In Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World”, terms like ‘mother’, ‘father’, ‘brother’ and ‘sister’ are considered obscenities and are not to be used in public, if at all...............
These people now all need the preverbal punch in the face. No longer will I be polite about a single thing on this and I will berate them for their lunacy and stupidity openly and loudly.
Yeah. When dealing with gov types in cal I plan using a hole. Everyone has one so not wrong IMO.
HOW MANY ENGLISH WORDS END ....ALY or ALLY.
= = =
No problem. Change to Valley Girl dialect.

Just a minute. “He” and “she” are gendered. But the left will destroy you if you don’t use the one that a “trans” person insists you use.
So which is it? are we supposed to ditch gendered language or are we being forced to use it?
There are two sexes: male and female.
There are three genders ( a grammatical term): masculine, feminine and neutral ( not referring to either sex but only to people in general).
Everything else is mental illness.
I’ll stay with faggot...pervert...freak.
With a Z? 🤪
Homeless person >> She is without housing.
She?
HOW DARE THEY!
Interior department bureaucrats in the field are mostly interested in getting stoned, drunk and laid.
This latest diktat will not only be ignored but laughed at around campfires. Any woke moron trying to enforce this garbage will be removed from his post in some unpleasant way.
I refuse to comply with this nonsense.
They’re moronic fools....
Sane people should just ignore these silly bassturds.
