Paragraph 1

An Australian university has asked staff to avoid using words related to gender. The Gender Institute issued a of replacements for words like 'mother' and 'father'. This is part of an to encourage more gender-neutral language. The list includes using the term 'gestational parent' of 'mother,' and 'non-birthing parent' in of 'father'.
