I read somewhere and my pastor confirmed that they are rewriting the NIV to be less gender specific. I’m not sure if that is the NIV Study Bible but I think so.

They are late to the party. A friend of mine gave me "The Inclusive New Testament" published in 1996 by a group called "Priests for Equality." Based largely by a lectionary created by "Dignity, San Francisco" (homo group). The gift was a gag. The book, however, is real.
SAMPLE
1 Cor 6:16
Douay: "Or know you not, that he who is joined to a harlot, is made one body?" For they shall be, saith he, two in one flesh.
Inclusive NT: "Don't you know that when you sleep with someone, you're sleeping with all of their partners as well? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh."
