Berkeley, CA – Berkeley, California, has adopted an ordinance to replace some terms with gender-neutral words in the city code.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports Wednesday that “she” and “he” will be replaced by “they.” The words “manpower” and “manhole” will become “workforce” and “maintenance hole.”
The City Council on Tuesday unanimously passed the measure to replace more than two dozen commonly used terms. There will be no more “craftsmen” in city code, only “craftspeople” or “artisans.”
Berkeley has a long history of leading on politically and socially liberal issues.
The sponsor of the ordinance is councilman Rigel Robinson, a 23-year-old recent graduate of the University of California, Berkeley. He says his time in college expanded his awareness of gender issues.
Robinson says critics suggested the council spend time on more important matters.
And they now call the mailman a “person person”.
Berkeley the city of freaks.
They have even banned the term pregnant woman.
A Mailman should be calles a FLOUR PERSON
This state is sick…rewarding illegals for their crimes by giving them free health insurance, etc. while some legal Americans are still struggling. This is liberals for you, folks. If you’re dumb enough to vote Democrat, get ready to share your salary with those who don’t work a day in their lives, to get your taxes raised sky high to pay for free college for all, to lose your choice of health insurance, etc. You truly have to be nuts to vote for these wackos.
Thanks Robinson. I’m sure the manholes are happy that they now a representative and their voices are now being heard.
Better yet why not just ban the manholes.
Wow the possibilities are endless. Why not sue the company Craftsman?
There is no limit to the insanity of liberals, Yonasan W the dislexic you are included
Does anyone find it ironic that the name was of the person who sponsored of this bill is “ Nigel Robinson.” With all his sensitivity, why did he not change his family name since the the last syllable of his name is “SON.” Another phony…..so open minded that his brains have obviously fallen out.
See the future of the democratic party. The liberal nuts have taken over the party.
It’s stories like this that will get Trump reelected.
I prefer the peoplehole or personhole. that is more equal or maybe just pooplehole???
I’m curious as to what happens if you violate the ordinance. They would fine you? It’s insane but people who live in Berkeley seem to move out there for this type of insanity.
What an incredible solution to “man made” global warming!
California, the land of fruit and two legged progressive liberal nuts.
This is result of this level of moron being in power and pandering to the other fools.
