![]() A Request to the Speaker Mr. Speaker, For some time now there has been an issue with our Constitution and some of the legislation we have passed, including during the time I served as a Senator. With your permission I would like to take to the Senate floor to discuss these issues, the hope being that we can see them resolved within this present Term. These measures will help to instill neutrality within our Constitution and Legislation while refining both, as well as setting forth simple guidelines regarding future Acts and Amendments. Thank you. |

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. ![]() As many of you may know I have discussed on IRC the need for the Order to update its Constitution and Laws to conform to more gender-neutral language. Naturally this would go hand-in-hand with new legislation being written in gender-neutral language as well. Such language was more prominent when Chancellor Emeritus Avakael was Grand Chancellor, so I can understand that it wasn't as much of an issue back then since our Grand Chancellor was male. We should endeavour to ensure that no position of government is referred to with a specific gender in mind so that our Constitution and Laws are neutral on the matter of gender. I would like to get the thoughts of our Senators and see where we can begin to rectify these issues. |

I believe the provisions of the Grammatical, Formatting and Spelling Error Corrections Act (2014) might cover this and if they don't then we should pass an amendment to it allowing for the proposals of gender-neutral language to be included. Doing the above would at least get the ball rolling in terms of updating Acts that have already been passed. |

I have written an Act on the spare forum to cover this (separate to the Grammar Nazi Act) that details out where and what needs to be amended. Will post it when I get on my laptop. |

At first glance, it looks okay. Shall I enter it into the docket? | |||
