Washington, D.C., having solved all of its other problems, may delete and replace “gendered” language from the D.C. city code and the city’s home rule charter in its next legislative session, putting an end to “male” terms like “manhole,” “chairman,” and “fireman.”
DCist reports that the bill, which will go under consideration by the D.C. city council soon, “would ensure that the language of the city’s laws ‘is modernized and reflective of our values,'” per the bill’s author, Councilmember David Grosso.
