Person Made

No pronouns for them:
The document tells employees to “avoid using terms that use ‘black’ to mean something bad or negative and ‘white’ to mean positive or less harmful” and “consider the order in which you present groups of people, as it can imply that first mentioned dominates the later mentioned.” However, it also warned that “the introduction of new terms to avoid bias may introduce comprehension issues,” in a stunning lack of self-awareness. In a section about “inclusive language for gender,” the document says that the term “birth sex” is “disparaging for many individuals that identify as transgender, gender-nonconforming, or nonbinary” and suggests that “assigned sex” or “sex assigned at birth” is preferred. The adjectives “male” and “female” are to be avoided, while “they,” “them,” and “their” are supposed to be used when referring to people if their preferred pronouns have not been explicitly shared. Additionally, “Mr./Ms./Miss/Mrs.” should only be used sparingly, with “Mx.” being used when someone’s pronouns are unknown.
