Back in the '80's when I was an Operating Engineer mechanic/weldor the Union implemented that change.
 
We were no longer HDR combo(Heavy Duty Repairman, combination mechanic/weldor)
 
We were now HDR (Heavy Duty Repair Person)

Yes, it doesn’t change much. But it includes both men and women.

That part of removing gender from language isn’t objectionable . But a Husband and a Wife are different in their function. Each is a title describing a particular role every bit as distinct and gender dependent as Mother and Father. Obviously the gender equality police would love to do away with Mother And Father and replace them with Parental Units. ( Conehead reference) Not because they are concerned about women but because it makes the LGBTQ crowd happy. 

When I posted the quote from Thesauron I had only read the thread to that point. I was just responding to his comment about how the terminology had changed in the workforce.
