You Won't Believe What Kind of 'Inclusive' Language This Health Department Is Pushing

Transgender ideology has permeated nearly every aspect of society, including health care. Townhall previously covered how health officials within the Biden administration pressured an international group of medical experts to remove age limits for so-called “gender-affirming” surgeries for transgender minors. 

In addition, several health organizations have implemented the use of preferred pronouns and other “woke” practices. One health department took this a step further, encouraging parents to erase the terms “son” and “daughter.”

This week, the Vermont Department of Health published a post on Facebook urging parents to use gender-neutral language like “child” and “kid” instead of “son” or “daughter” in an effort to be more inclusive. 

In addition, the department said that people should use the terminology “family members” instead of “household members” because “not all families live in the same home.” Also, it encouraged people to say “family” rather than “extended family” to refer to aunts, uncles, and grandparents. 

“The language we use matters!” they wrote. “When talking about family, it’s important to use terms that cover the many versions of what a family can look like.”

Needless to say, the comments shredded the Vermont Department of Health for promoting this kind of gender-neutral, “woke” language. 

In a follow up, the department said, “This post was intended to encourage using inclusive language when you don't know someone's family situation. This is especially important in settings like classrooms, afterschool programs and sports teams. Using language that includes everyone helps children feel seen, respected, and valued no matter how their families are structured.”
