BTW, do you support "english only" in the U.S??.... It's about the only language that doesn't use gender specific modifiers[adjectives&adverbs]or commonly use "gender specific"nouns even for inanimates!

Legislative bodies should be convened to do the necessary business of the government. It seems that anymore fluff like this gets done before things like say, oh, budgets. The whole process has lost it's serious nature while nonsense bills or, dare I say, non-binding resolutions take up time better spent on real lawmaking.

It is my understanding that laws have been in existence for decades that address this issue.

I did not see but one objection stated in the article and that was from a female legislator, citing cost of changing all paperwork in the state. Will this law mandate that county and municipal governments have to make these changes? Will private businesses be required to get on board with it a limited time period? Will the individuals that do not consider themselves a he or she go to court to have their gender identification listed on all official documents?
It's Washington state tax payers' money and if they have a problem with the law they need to address it. I personally think they should seriously consider changing this to something like "individual" or "person." That would come close to including all the human beings living in the state of Washington, I hope.
If a politician told me this law would "put men and women on equal footing," I would laugh him out of sight. Just gets the politicians votes from people who think pandering to their emotions is "meaningful" legislation.

In short, you feel your manhood is threatened. You must not have much confidence in it. Sucks to be you.
