The Massachusetts State Senate passed a bill Wednesday that would remove gendered language from birth certificates, erasing traditional family roles and language from the document.
Bill H.4750, described as “An Act to ensure legal parentage equality,” changes language concerning paternity, children born out of wedlock, as well as mothers and fathers.
Rather than referencing the child’s “mother,” the bill will swap out the word for the phrasing “person who gave birth.” The word “father,” meanwhile, will be replaced with “other parent.” The words “paternity” will be replaced with “parentage” and “his,” in reference to the father, will be replaced with “their.” The bill goes even further to replace the words “man” and “woman” with “persons.”
“It’s always been about corrupting our language, destroying the family, then taking away our rights & freedoms,” said Riley Gaines, former NCAA swimmer and women’s sports advocate, in a post on X.
