July 9 (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co (F.N) on Friday amended its bylaws to adopt gender-neutral language in an effort to build more inclusive workplace.

The automaker said it would use the title 'chair' in place of 'chairman'.

This comes amid fierce debates over what it means to be a man or a woman, and how language and institutions need to be more inclusive.

Earlier this year, White House added gender-neutral pronouns that people could select when contacting the U.S. government, while professional networking site LinkedIn announced plans to let users add their preferred gender pronouns to accounts in certain countries.

Now illegal to refer to a transmission as a “tranny”.

If I worked at Ford it would give me great piece of mind to know this is what leadership is worried about.

Probably getting ahead of the curve. I imagine this will be some mandate in the future.

Whose having debates about what it means to be a man or a woman. Here’s a simple equation to know so you can tell what’s a man and what’s a woman. Man = penis
Woman=Vagina

Yet they still build shitty vehicles...

Side note: I guess that's why they dropped the "powerstroke" too masculine...

Imagine telling your ancestors this is the enlightened society we were striving to build

I can’t wait until these squabbles that are simply political distractions are behind us. What a bunch of nonsense

Could they amend their bylaws to get microchip shortages dealt with?

This is why American cars are trash.

Serious question....do franchised dealerships have a potential case against Ford and GM for not being able to supply them with new products to sell?

My local Chevrolet dealer has zero new cars on their lot, and only about a dozen used models.

Are women actually bothered by that type of language? I’ve never asked. I thought the -man ending was just a good way to say person, never associated it with a gender
