The latent sex neutral revolution disturbingly seems like a throwback to an older, darker alternative, circa the fictional novel “1984,” as some of us in the workplace are told to use gender neutral terms.

Surreptitiously, beauty is becoming an unfavorable term unless used in a sexless context. Indeed, if the term beautiful brings to most men’s minds a woman, no matter her appearance as each man may have his own idea of beauty, is it also sexist for a woman who identifies the term with a man whatever his appearance? But now, if that’s the case then because a woman who identifies the term with a woman or a man with a man, does that now invalidate the term for a man envisioning a woman or a woman a man? Why must the same sex argument eliminate the traditional thinking of the term to accommodate those who are only attracted to the same sex when actually the majority of the people in the world are not attracted to the same sex?

Why would anyone want to live in that other world? It is a dark and depressing world where women can no longer be called beautiful because it is offensive to those who have other ideas of beauty or a woman will not be able to say a man is handsome. In fact, the terms “men” and “women” themselves would notably becoming negative speech due to their identifying gender.

It is the world of “1984” we are heading to, not some pansexual orientation utopia, and in that world the only allowed designations to use for people may become numbers.
 
I have always used gender neutral words, they are merely defined as curse words. As far as 1984 it is nowhere like that now. We have better monitors in public to watch.
