Unilever ditches the term ‘normal’ from its beauty products
Consumer goods company Unilever have removed the word ‘normal’ from its products such as shampoo, soaps and beauty products because “normal doesn’t exist.”
Unilever is removing the descriptor “normal” from its soaps, shampoos and other personal care brands, saying the word is not “inclusive” and has a “negative effect on people”.

The word “normal” is often used to describe what type of skin or hair – such as normal, dry, fine or oily – is recommended for a particular beauty product.

The British-headquartered multinational, which owns brands including Dove, Sunsilk and TRESemmé and sells products in some 190 countries, made the announcement on Tuesday that it would be removing the word “normal” from all of its advertising and packaging “all over the world”.

Unilever said the change was part of its “Positive Beauty” strategy, “championing a new era of beauty that’s inclusive, equitable and sustainable”.

Under the new policy, Unilever has also vowed to “end all digital alterations that change a person’s body shape, size, proportions or skin colour, and to increase the number of ads portraying people from diverse, under-represented groups”.

Australian conservative minor party pushes to ban gender neutral language like 'chestfeeding' and 'non-birthing parent' from government use

A motion banning the use of gender neutral language had been passed by the Australian senate.

One Nation senator Malcolm Roberts put forward the motion in the Upper House on Wednesday with the Morrison government voting to approve the ban.

Under the motion terms such as 'chest-feeding', 'lactating parent', and 'birthing parent' would not be allowed in government literature because such language 'distorts biological and relational descriptors'.

Departments within the government and government funding agencies must stop using the words in their training materials, information material, and websites.

Senator Roberts also referred to a Queensland doctor who has claimed children are becoming hesitant to use the terms 'boy' and 'girl'.

His motion also said a persons right to use gender neutral pronouns should not 'undermine gender' or 'dehumanise the human race'.

The Liberal government read a statement outlining their position before the motion was passed by 33 senators for to 31 against.

'The government supports the rights of individuals to make use of any pronouns or descriptors they prefer, while encouraging respect for the preferences of others,' Senator Jonathan Duniam said.

'The government will use language in communications that is appropriate for the purpose of those communications and is respectful of its audiences.'

Greens Senator Janet Rice asked to speak on the issue in parliament but was denied permission from the speaker of the house.

She let fly on Twitter shortly after, however, saying the motion was an attempt to deny people claiming their own identity.

'The Morrison Government just voted to support One Nation's disgusting, bigoted Senate motion trying to deny the identity of trans & non binary people. So the motion passed. What happened to governing for all Australians?' she wrote.
