Mixed
Germany
Lawyers in Germany propose using 'parent' instead of 'mother' and 'father' in legal language, as part of a guide recommending more inclusive terminology.
Infact verdict: Mixed (40/100).
The claims regarding changes in legal terminology in Germany and New York are partially supported by evidence. The proposal to use gender-neutral terms like 'gestating parent' and 'non-gestating parent' is confirmed for New York, not Germany. The claim about using 'a person without German citizenship' instead of 'foreigner' aligns with inclusive language trends but lacks specific evidence. The recommendation to use 'a person with a disability' is widely supported by inclusive language guidelines. The concept of a 'living glossary' is consistent with evolving language resources.

Lawyers from Germany have proposed using the words 'mother' and 'father' less frequently.
The evidence suggests that the proposal to use gender-neutral terms like 'gestating parent' and 'non-gestating parent' is related to New York, not Germany. Therefore, the claim is misleading as it inaccurately attributes the proposal to Germany.
