From the US Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her references to “menstruating person”, to the Lancet’s “bodies with vaginas” to Australia’s Department of Health purging the word ‘woman’ from pregnancy health advice, the dehumanising trend of ‘inclusive language’ has set in and will only be stopped with firm, sensible leadership.   

As someone who has been campaigning for common sense protections for women’s single-sex sports, facilities and spaces for some time, it is immensely frustrating to see the escalation of this trend in recent months.
