    I don’t think anyone is saying remove all references to gender from our vocabulary

      I think some people would like that actually. In Sweden where I live, a new gender neutral word called “hen” has been introduced as “human of unspecified gender”, and its encouraged to use that instead of saying him or her, to avoid “bias”. Which is what the previous poster talked about.
