Air Force troops have been warned not to use certain words and phrases because they might be deemed offensive. An email saying that certain words such as “boy,” “girl,” and “blackmail” should not be used was sent to Airmen at Joint Base San Antonio Texas, the Daily Mail reported.
The email included an attachment with a list of words that “may be construed as offensive.”
“You people” also made the list, as well as “colonial,” “blacklist,” and the phrase “blondes have more fun.”
Someone leaked the list to Fox News, where it gained national media attention.
According to Fox News, the list did contain some genuinely offensive phrases, but commonly said phrases peppered the list as well.
A senior Air Force leader wrote the email and sent it to Airmen at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. It is unclear how many personnel received the email.

If an airman has a child can he say “It’s a boy”????
Insanity rules these days.

The day is young yet, why wait?
This is my big issue which is finally getting the coverage it so richly deserves. Looks like the Air Force is on the case and probably saved the country by bringing this most important issue to the forefront.
It’s Sunday. The man needs a day off.
Does the Air Force even have mortars? REMF stands for Rear Echelon Mortar Fixer, doesn’t it? :=)
I think that is patently unconstitutional. We may find out very soon.
No we can’t say a child born is a boy. You have to wait till that child grows up, and then see what that person’s gender identity/gender expression is. He may have male characteristics at birth, but it’s bigoted to say it’s a boy based on that.
I don’t belive a word of this.
I can imagine using the word sane and sanity is offensive to them as well.
Does the AF have troops?
