A bill introduced in the West Virginia House of Delegates aims to eliminate “woke words and agendas” from state government documents, websites, literature, and in person interactions. Sponsored by 11 delegates, House Bill 2406 seeks to replace “exclusionary and sexist terms” with accurate female affirming alternatives. Some examples include replacing “pregnant people” with “pregnant women” or “pregnant mom,” and replacing “chestfeeding” with “breastfeeding.” The bill also calls for the use of terms like “breast fed” instead of “body fed” or “person fed,” and “breast milk” instead of “human milk.” Additionally, the bill mandates the use of terms like “birth mom” instead of “birthing person,” and “woman” instead of “menstruating person” or “menstruating people.” The full text of the bill can be found online. This initiative has led to debate and discussions regarding language use and gender inclusivity in government communications.
