Many terms banned in official state government use are focused on gender-neutral issues and can be used to refer to transgender or non-binary individuals.
Arkansas Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed an executive order this week banning the use of certain words for government employees and official government documents.'We are all here today to say, frankly, that we've had enough,' Sanders said during a press conference Thursday. 'Enough trying to erase women and girls, enough denying our biological differences from men, and enough of the craziness that is taking over our country.
Instead of using the terms 'pregnant people' or 'pregnant person,' Sanders calls for the use of the word, 'pregnant mom.' Instead of the terms 'chestfeeding,' 'body fed' or 'person fed,' use the terms 'breastfeeding' or 'breast fed.' Instead of the term 'human milk,' the executive order requires the use of 'breast milk.
