An elementary school in Vermont in the USA will stop using the the words 'boy' and 'girl',instead it will be using 'person who produces sperm' and a 'person who produces eggs', hmmmm it's a bit of a mouthful when boy or girl is easier.....thought? |

Vermont school is sparking controversy after the decision to drop binary language from its health class in favor of "person-first" language that the district said is more inclusive.
At Founders Memorial, fifth-graders are preparing for their unit on science and health about the human body. But instead of saying boy or male, teachers will say "person who produces sperm." In place of girl or female, teachers will say "person who produces eggs." |

that's the key bit. It's in the context of talking about things like puberty. Rather than in general.
Appears to be the parents are largely supportive. Rather than being done unto by the wokearati.
