Committee: Main Committee
Submitted on 2017-01-06
Status: Passed on January 29, 2017

Background

Based on the discussion "Gender instead of Sex references" it seems to be the best decission to change the wording in the rulebook from "Gender" or "Sex" to "male / female" at any place where it is use

Proposal

Sections: 2D-7 - 3B.6.7 - 4D.6 - 4D.8 - 4D9.3 - 4D.14 - 8A.1 - 12D.11

I have made all of the changes. Sometimes it is extremely difficult to rewrite the rule in a concise fashion without using a singular word (sex or gender). Specifically in section 4D.6. I think the rule is now less clear. If someone has an edit there, please advise.

The new rules follows the old rule in each section. I hope it is obvious.
