    anyone was forced to use gender-neutral language.

    I think you misunderstand. Citizens are allowed to use whatever language they want. This article is specifically referring to government documents.

          Let me say it again, in big letters, because apparently it was unclear.

          Show me where it says that ANYONE was forced to use gender-neutral language.

          I have yet to see any evidence that anyone, government official or private citizen, in their speech or writing, was forced, mandated, required, encouraged, or even gently suggested to use gender-neutral language by the government of Arkansas. Whoever wrote that single instance of “pregnant person” mentioned in the article seems to have done it by choice. Governor Sanders is the only one trying to control speech.
