Democrats propose ban on 'he' and 'she' and all gender-specific words in new rules for Congress
Nick Allen
Republicans
have condemned a Democrat plan to eliminate gender-specific pronouns
such as "he" and "she" from the rules of the US House of
Representatives.
Nancy Pelosi, the Democrat Speaker of the House,
announced the proposal as a "bold and future-focused" move, and said it
would make the lower chamber of Congress the "most inclusive in history" for transgender and nonbinary people.
The
move would do away with any gender-specific references, such as "man",
"woman", "husband" or "wife" in the 45-page text of the rules that will
govern the House during the 117th Congress, which convenes on Sunday.
Kevin McCarthy, the Republican leader in the House, wrote on Twitter: "This is stupid. Signed - A father, son, and brother".

Kelly Loeffler, the Republican senator standing for re-election in Georgia
on Tuesday, added: "The far-left’s priorities, everyone. If you’d like
to still be able to call yourself a father, daughter, mother or son,
vote for me on Tuesday. Sincerely, A Proud Daughter."
Democrats said the aim was to "ensure we are inclusive of all members and their families - including those who are nonbinary."
References to "father" and "mother" would be replaced by "parent", while "son' and "daughter" would become "child".
Mentions of "brother" and "sister" would become "sibling". Aunts and uncles would be changed to "parent's sibling".
Other
changes would include altering "submit his or her resignation" to
"resigns", "chairman" becoming "chair", and "seaman" being changed to
"seafarer".
The proposal was put forward by the Democrat-led House
rules committee, which is sometimes known as the "traffic cop of the
House", and backed by Ms Pelosi.
The
committee said its intention was to "honour all gender identities by
changing pronouns and familial relationships in the House rules to be
gender-neutral."
Ms Pelosi said it was a "visionary rules package
which reflects the views and values of the full range of our
historically diverse House Democratic majority."
She added: "These proposals reflect our priorities as a caucus and as a country."
The rules package also includes establishing a House Office of Diversity and Inclusion.
It will be voted on in the first few days of the new Congress. Democrats will hold a slim majority of about 10 in the 435-member House.
The
proposal also included other measures such as banning members of the
House and their staff from spreading "manipulated media" like
"deepfakes".
Ms Pelosi is facing the challenge of getting enough
of her party to turn up in person during the pandemic to ensure she is
re-elected as Speaker at the start of the new session.
In the new Congress she will lead a group of House Democrats that includes an increasingly vocal left wing.
Elise
Stefanik, a Republican congresswoman from New York, told the New York
Post: "Instead of reviving the economy, restoring our Constitutional
freedoms and delivering results for the American people, Speaker Pelosi
has chosen her debut legislation - which would ban words like mother,
sister and daughter."
Nicole Malliotakis, a Republican congresswoman, added: "Here’s a gender neutral word to describe this legislation: ridiculous."
Another recently elected Republican congresswoman wrote on Twitter: "Blatant denial of truth and attack on families!"
why do "females" think that REAL women want to see their breasts and crotch? Isn't anything private anymore or do these pigs really crave "that" kind of attention?
not a slut
not a whore
you are a dirty nasty PIG ....LOL
YOU are the ONLY one that thinks that You look good. LOL
Vaccinated US nurse contracts COVID-19, expert says Pfizer shot needed more time to work - ABC
(Reuters) - A nurse in California tested positive for COVID-19 more than a week after receiving Pfizer Inc's vaccine, an ABC News affiliate reported on Tuesday, but a medical expert said the body needs more time to build up protection.
Matthew
W., 45, a nurse at two different local hospitals, said in a Facebook
post on December 18 that he had received the Pfizer vaccine, telling the
ABC News affiliate that his arm was sore for a day but that he had
suffered no other side-effects.
Six days later on Christmas Eve,
he became sick after working a shift in the COVID-19 unit, the report
added. He got the chills and later came down with muscle aches and
fatigue.
He went to a drive-up hospital testing site and tested positive for COVID-19 the day after Christmas, the report said.
Christian
Ramers, an infectious disease specialist with Family Health Centers of
San Diego, told the ABC News affiliate that this scenario was not
unexpected.
"We know from the vaccine clinical trials that it's
going to take about 10 to 14 days for you to start to develop protection
from the vaccine," Ramers said.
"That first dose we think gives you somewhere around 50%, and you need that second dose to get up to 95%," Ramers added.

Speaking
on Tuesday, the president-elect said he and vice president-elect Harris
had taken Covid-19 vaccines publically to “instill confidence” in them,
when he misspoke.
Ms Harris had received her vaccine dose
publicly some hours earlier, as American lawmakers and officials try to
build public trust in the vaccine programme.

“I
took it to instill confidence in the vaccine,” said Mr Biden, who was
speaking from Wilmington, Delaware. He received a vaccine dose last
week, also live on air.
“President-elect Harris took hers today
for the same reason,” he then added, while accidentally referring to his
running mate as the president-elect.
The 78-year-old has made the
same mistake in the past, saying on the campaign trail several months
ago that there would be a “Harris administration”.
Mr Biden, who
will assume the United States presidency on 20 January, went on to warn
that vaccines were being rolled-out too slowly by the Trump
administration.
And at the current pace, said the president-elect, “it’s gonna take years, not months, to vaccinate the American people.”
“As
I long feared and warned the effort to distribute and administer the
vaccine is not progressing as it should,” he added, while warning that
“things will get worse before they get better”.
According to the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Tuesday, around 11.4
million vaccine doses have been distributed.
