The Green Party has issued guidance on inclusive language which says its members shouldn’t use the words ‘mother’ and ‘father’. Instead, they suggest the gender-neutral words ‘parents’ or ‘carers’ should be used. Oh good grief! When will this liberal progressive vandalism of the English language end? Ironically, they also say the words, ‘nutters’ and ‘lunatics’ are not acceptable. Don’t tempt me.
Additionally, the word ‘elderly’ is also a no-no for Green Party members. So too is the phrase ‘black, Asian and minority ethnic’ (Bame). The same applies to ‘homosexual’ and ‘transsexual’ – the latter because it ‘does not encompass non-binary people’. Likewise, ‘sexual preference’ is labelled as ‘unacceptable’ because it ‘implies that attraction is a choice and should be avoided’.
