It could also be that the training is going for federal agencies that have been "legally" required to eliminate "gender" from any training materials.

I didn't think of that. All of those are good points.

 

Hey folks, I’m a freelance voice-over artist and QA reviewer working on training content, usually things like workplace harassment and diversity courses. Recently, I was asked to QA a course on workplace harassment—and noticed the client had removed all references to gender, replacing it with sex. Anywhere the word “gender” appeared, it was just… gone or replaced.

It seems like a subtle thing on the surface, but it’s not. It completely shifts the tone and scope of the training. It feels like a quiet rollback of DEI principles, and honestly, it made my stomach turn. The kicker? I need this job. Turning this down could burn a bridge I can’t afford to lose.

I have a good relationship with the lead on the project (who's just relaying instructions—they don’t have control over the content decisions), and I want to say something. At the same time, I’m scared that even a polite pushback could cost me.

Has anyone else been in this kind of situation? How do you draw the line when your ethics and survival are at odds? Would really appreciate your thoughts.

They've already bloomed?? My poppy are just done putting leaves and are starting to maybe think of getting a flower out, some day next month, maybe.

They’re acting like it’s some silly stunt. Meanwhile, the man’s performing a miracle.

Oh you shooooouuuld! Animal's company seem to push me further into hermithood though.

I went heavy handed on potatoes and radishes this year but no cabbage yet. Not too late though, I'll keep some for you if I manage to grow some

Ohhhhh hello very distant neighbor. We do live in the same settings except that I live with my cat.

Dude, you gotta fix your autocorrect, or at least set it up.

Type 2 fun and overthinking. I am good at enjoying both.

Bouldering: I enjoy it, even though I’m not great at it. My short wingspan doesn’t help, and neither does my fear of heights. Every climb is a mix of determination and second-guessing my life choices and I'm excellent at the latest.

Gardening: It sounds relaxing, but in reality, it’s a cycle of overthinking. First, I stress about planting. Then I wait. And once/if it grows, there’s a whole lineup of threats: slugs, cats, deer, boars, hail… basically, everything conspiring against success. Not sure what I enjoy about it but I'd say I am moderately successful and can eat a self planted potato every year

Me too! I got 128 and it defined me for a long time. I'm more iq'd than you. Yesss, here's my time to shine again, finally

"Le bureau des légendes" spoiled every spy shows for me. It's soul wrenching.

And "Slow Horses" was gritty and enthralling.

We've got the same taste! Any other shows you'd advise?
