Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is introducing an executive order to require the state government to use words that 'celebrate gender distinctions between men and women — not erase them.'
FIRST ON FOX: Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, R-Ark., is setting the record straight on femininity in Arkansas, introducing an executive order to mandate the use of gender-specific terms when describing women and 'prohibit the use of woke, anti-women words for official state government business.' 'The science is clear and real; There are things only women can do, like perform the miracle of birth,' Sanders wrote in the executive order shared first with Fox News Digital.
The governor wrote that rather than refer to females as a 'menstruating person' or 'menstruating people,' to use the terms 'woman' or 'women.' Rather than 'birthing person,' use 'birth mom,' and rather than 'chestfeeding,' use 'breastfeeding.' And rather than 'laboring person,' use 'birth mom,' and 'woman' instead of 'birth-giver.
They’re using nonsense words to erase women and girls — and more importantly, to erase our voices and experiences. Today, we’re taking a stand against woke nonsense… It’s the Left that decided that ‘woman’ is a dirty word. It’s the Left that decided that we needed to toss out basic biology — and basic grammar along with it.' Fox News' Alexander Hall contributed to this report.
