Hi again, Meerkat,

My article is targeted to people who wish to neutralize bias in their writing. You are free to use outmoded language if you wish.

Gender-neutral language that puts people on equal footing is an accepted norm in government, public institutions and schools.

The only place I have heard of “Newspeak” is in the novel 1984 by George Orwell. It’s a made up language of a fictional totalitarian state.

Here is a link to UN Women’s guideline on gender-neutral language that may be helpful:
