Have you seen the one where the company says we shouldn't use the terms male/female in a technical setting because it implies only 2 genders and apparently genders exist on some sort of spectrum?
So I emailed HR to ask for alternative suggestions and if I had permission to refer to ports and connectors as penis and vagina connectors. I think this will be an important discussion because the have the director of HR, legal and my manager scheduled for a meeting next week.
male/female did always seem weird to me to call plugs. It would be better if they were just called insertive/receptive. It's much more self-explanatory and appropriate.
At least were not still using IDE...
