Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders has announced a ban on the use of “gender neutral” terms in official state documents.

In an executive order on Thursday, Ms. Sanders banned non-gender-specific terms such as “menstruating person” or “menstruating people,” which describes a person who does not identify themselves as a woman but goes through the monthly period cycle common to women.
