Ban on Federal Funding for Gender-Neutral and Inclusive Language Policies

This bill prohibits federal agencies from spending money on developing or promoting guidelines for gender-neutral or inclusive communication. This means official government documents and programs will not be required to use language designed to avoid stereotyping, exclusion, or gender bias. Consequently, citizens may notice a lack of consistent, inclusive language standards in their interactions with the government.
Key points
Federal agencies are barred from using funds for training or resources promoting gender-neutral or inclusive language.
The prohibition covers all forms of communication intended to avoid stereotyping, exclusion, or gender bias, including the use of preferred pronouns.
This impacts how the government communicates with citizens, potentially resulting in less inclusive language in official documents and programs.
