Ill say it again.

Nah
The third-person plural pronouns are they, them, theirs, and themselves. The third-person plural possessive determiner is their.
I didn't come here to start an argument. Just stating what I was taught in college, and such usage would get a failing grade on the paper. Good day.

Im voting for Trump,
I believe gender discussions in the classroom should be banned.
I believe graphic sex books targeting kids should be banned from schools and public libraries.
I believe people should be limited to the bathroom that matches their anatomy.
I believe biological males should be banned from women's sports.
I believe Target should be boycotted for displaying pride and trans gear in the kids section
I believe gender mutilation should be banned.
I believe in a child's right to be a child.
I believe flying sex flags on publicly owned buildings and websites should be a felony.
I also believe in the Constitution and freedom of expression. The pronoun change to the contract is fine.
Cool story bro.

The contract refers to 340,000 men and women. This is acceptable language

No buddy, it does not just refer to men and women, if it did, they wouldn't have changed the pronoun. The point is to be "inclusive" of gender "non binary" blah blah blah.

I had an English professor who would go ballistic if someone used "they/them/their" to refer to a single person, rather than "his/her."

It might flow better but she insisted it was incorrect, and called people who did that lazy.

I agree with you, but that is a matter for legislatures and husbands + fathers.. You act like we work for a small business or something. UPS isn't going to eat that negative press. See UPSers.com during pride month?
The UPSers website during pride month is over the top. We can pick up and deliver packages without having to show the world how gay we are every 5 seconds.

I miss the days when you could buy a product or service and you didn’t know or care what that company’s politics was. And all they had to do was sponsor a little league team or hold a volunteering event to show they cared about the community.
No. if trump really was cheeto mussolini and threw all the commies into a black hole prison ..maybe..but he was weak and now he’s paying the price by being indicted by democrats trying to run election interference.
Fortunately we all have rights in this country, including commies and neo nazi people. If Trump was allowed to lock up all the commies and socialists, we would be in re education camps for conservatives under the Biden administration today.

And as far and fake trannies getting into women’s prison, I couldn’t care less. Maybe they’ll think twice before breaking the law next time.

Jesus dude. What time period are you living in? There are people in this country who can get a bank account or even take an uber because of political beliefs. The federal govt is locking up political dissidents as we speak.

If you believe male rapists should be in a women’s prison..then i would say thats absolutely insane but..ya know..we live in a free country…so

That's understandable, however, the contract doesn't refer to a singular person.
His/her and his or her always irked me when the word their is sufficient.

Look, correct grammar is only useful when you’re not trying to push a certain narrative. When you are, just like all the rules of New York City during blm riots, doesn’t matter, anything goes. What’s right is wrong, and what’s wrong is right.

I haven’t heard of anyone not getting an Uber or a bank account because of their political beliefs. I could see it happening to a public figure, but your average Joe?

Now you’re correct the prosecution of political dissidents is going on to some extent. We saw that with Trump, the Jan 6th protesters, and various other hand selected public figures.

I don’t see this happening like it was talked about during covid. Which is the radical democrats dream of arresting all conservatives and placing them in re education camps.

The rapists will get what’s coming to them. Bet they get killed in that women’s prison pretty quickly, which is the best thing that could happen to a rapist, given the high rate of recidivism. Got to keep prison a place that people want to stay out of.
