Oxfam ‘Inclusivity’ Guide Tells Staff to Avoid Using ‘Offensive’ Words Like ‘Mother’, ‘People’ and ‘Headquarters’ Language policing manifesto slammed by critics as woke garbage.

Oxfam has released an “inclusive language” guide which apologizes for using the English language before going on to deem a number of words ‘offensive’, such as “headquarters,” “local,” “people,” “mother” and “feminine hygiene.”

Yes, really.

The poverty and hunger charity was slammed for caving to absurd levels of political correctness after issuing the bizarre 92-page guidance to staff members.

“We recognise that this guide has its origin in English, the language of a colonising nation. We acknowledge the Anglo-supremacy of the sector as part of its coloniality,” states the introduction.

“This guide aims to support people who have to work and communicate in the English language as part of this colonial legacy. However, we recognise that the dominance of English is one of the key issues that must be addressed in order to decolonise our ways of working and shift power.”

Apparently, merely using the English language is now racist and offensive.

The word “headquarters” is criticized because it “implies a colonial power dynamic,” while “field trip” is also frowned upon because it can “reinforce colonial attitudes.”

Staff are even told not to say they “stand with” people they support because it “potentially alienates people unable to stand,” while even the word “people” is to be avoided because “is often misunderstood as only referring to men.”

“Mother or father” are also verboten because it is important to “avoid assuming the adoption of gendered roles by transgender parents,” according to the guide, while “feminine hygiene” is also a bad term because it implies menstruation is dirty.

Even the terms “LGBT, LGBTQIX, homosexuality, gay and lesbian” are to be avoided because people who consider themselves part of “the whole LGBTQIA+ community” might be offended if the ‘plus’ isn’t used.

Critics slammed the ludicrous language guide and said that Oxfam should concentrate on charity work rather than policing the words people are allowed to use.

“In Africa, women have a one in 37 chance of dying in pregnancy,” said Maya Forstater, who founded pressure group Sex Matters. “But Oxfam seems to think what’s really important is erasing clear language about the very people who are most at risk.”

“How is ignoring and denigrating the world’s mothers good for development?’ she asked. “This guidance is trying to apply fashionable ideas about gender identity to people around the world who don’t think like this and are dealing with the ordinary problems men and women face every day.”

“Most people will find this particular use of valuable time and resources by Oxfam totally bizarre. It would do them well to remember the old adage that actions speak louder than...

The builders of the Transcontinental Railroad who’d been working from the east and the west meet at Promontory Summit, Utah on May 10, 1869.

The Transcontinental Railroad is completed in the United States. Originally called the Pacific Railroad, the Transcontinental Railroad became the first continuous railway across the United States. Its construction began in 1863 and was primarily executed by Union Pacific and the Central Pacific Railroad Company of California (CPRC). On its completion date, the CPRC’s president hammered in the ceremonial last spike, known as the “Golden Spike,” at Promontory Summit, Utah.

The transcontinental railroad was built primarily by the Central Pacific Railroad and the Union Pacific Railroad, with significant contributions from thousands of immigrant laborers, particularly Chinese and Irish workers.

Overview of the Builders
The transcontinental railroad was constructed primarily by two major companies:

Central Pacific Railroad (CPRR)
Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR)

Key Contributions
Central Pacific Railroad Location: Built eastward from Sacramento, California.

Labor Force: Initially struggled to recruit American workers, leading to the hiring of a significant number of Chinese immigrants.
Challenges: Faced difficult terrain, particularly the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Union Pacific Railroad Location: Built westward from Omaha, Nebraska.

Labor Force: Primarily employed Irish immigrants and Civil War veterans.

Challenges: Encountered resistance from Native American tribes and had to navigate the Great Plains.
Immigrant Labor

The construction of the railroad relied heavily on immigrant labor, particularly:

These laborers faced harsh working conditions, including dangerous tasks and poor treatment, yet their contributions were crucial to the completion of this monumental project.
