Paragraph 1
An Australian university
has asked staff to avoid using
words related to gender. The Gender Institute issued a
of replacements for words like 'mother' and 'father'. This is part of an
to encourage more gender-neutral language. The list includes using the term 'gestational parent'
of 'mother,' and 'non-birthing parent' in
of 'father'. The institute's
says the words 'mother' and 'father' exclude non-
people. These are people who identify as being
male nor female. They feel unrepresented because of
words.
