Does this mean that the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is going to be made gender-neutral in both name and practice? I'm not holding my breath.

In an effort to be inclusive to those who don't identify as a specific gender, the rules package strips all mention of gender-specific pronouns and terms such as "man," "woman," "mother" and "son."
The Office of the Whistleblower Ombudsman (https://whistleblower.house.gov/), for instance, is renamed in the rules to the "Office of the Whistleblower Ombuds."
