CNN —Argentina’s President Javier Milei has banned gender-inclusive language in all official documents and public administration, the presidential spokesperson said Tuesday, as the far-right libertarian continues to implement his socially conservative agenda.
The ban, effective immediately, will prohibit “inclusive language and everything related to the gender perspective throughout the national public administration,” Manuel Adornis, spokesperson for the Casa Rosada, said in his daily press conference.
Spanish is a gender-defined language where most nouns are given a masculine “o” ending or a feminine “a” ending.
This announcement comes after gender-inclusive language was banned in the military following a resolution by the country’s defense ministry.
Last week, his government announced the closure of its anti-discrimination agency, saying the Ministry of Justice would absorb its functions.
