NYT Op-Ed: [1]
That is to say: Stop using “male” and “female” to refer to men and women. In fact, stop using sex-based words to refer to people at all. They’re words for bodies, not for people with hearts and souls and minds.

And we’ll need to erase the recordings to thousands of offensive songs, such as “Brown Eyed Girl” and everything ever recorded by the Beach Boys.
