Nearly 750 instances of gender-related language have been removed or updated this year in British Columbia’s government regulations, the province says.
This is the largest-ever removal in one year, with 90 percent of the changes focusing on binary language such as “he,” “she,” “himself,” or “herself,” and the remaining 10 percent amending gender-specific terms like “aunt,” “father,” and “son,” the B.C. government said in a March 30 a news release.
