Division of US Military Branch That Faces Down China Orders End of Gender Pronouns; Leaders Claim Move Will Improve Fighting Force’s ‘Lethality’

A division of the U.S. Pacific Air Forces, which faces down China, ordered the end of gender pronouns in written formats, insisting the move to more neutral language will improve the force’s “lethality,” the Washington Free Beacon reported. . .

“In accordance with the Diverse PACAF priority, ‘We must embrace, promote and unleash the potential of diversity and inclusion,” reads a partial copy of a May email to senior leaders and commanders at the Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, which is part of the Pacific Air Forces. The Free Beacon said it obtained the email.

Base leaders were ordered to not use “pronouns, age, race, etc.” in written performance reviews or other materials, such as recommendations for awards, the outlet said, adding that the directive also said “welcoming and employing varied perspectives from a foundation of mutual respect will improve our interoperability, efficiency, creativity, and lethality.”

“Unauthorized” words and phrases include “He/She did” and “Best male/female,” the Free Beacon said.

A base spokesman confirmed the email’s authenticity, the outlet said, adding that the ban on “pronouns, age, race” is “intended to eliminate any information that could identify the nominee’s name, gender, age, or race so that all members had a fair and equal chance at winning.” (Read more from “Division of US Military Branch That Faces Down China Orders End of Gender Pronouns; Leaders Claim Move Will Improve Fighting Force’s ‘Lethality'” HERE)
