The entry of the pronoun
"iel"
in the Le Robert dictionary continues to divide the political sphere.
After Jean-Michel Blanquer who said he was firmly opposed to the use of
"iel"
and inclusive writing, then Brigitte Macron, it is the turn of Laurence Garnier, senator Les Républicains (LR) in Loire-Atlantique, to step up to the plate.
During questions to the government, Wednesday, November 24, she publicly disapproved of the use of the neutral pronoun
"iel"
.
Speaking to Élisabeth Moreno, Secretary of State in charge of Equality between men and women, the politician affirmed her deep disagreement with the use of this pronoun, which, according to her, is part of an ideology
" woke ”
.
Far from being inclusive, it conveys an
“exclusion”
.

The use of "iel" will generate the validation of inclusive writing
She protested against a sentence of Elisabeth Moreno, who had declared
"not to find shocking"
to use the neutral pronoun
"iel"
, use which generated, according to Senator LR, the validation of inclusive writing.
"Everyone has understood that validating the pronoun
'iel'
is validating inclusive writing, because we will have to be explained to us whether to say:
'iel is beautiful'
or:
'iel is beautiful'
. It will therefore be necessary to write both. But for you, it's not that shocking,
”she regretted.
“Your position will not erase the suffering of certain life paths.
On the other hand, it will complicate access to reading for people with disabilities, as well as for our children, more than half of whom do not have a correct level of reading when entering sixth grade.
But for you it is not so shocking ”
.

"You give in to wokism and lobbies"
The senator deplores the position taken by Elisabeth Moreno, which, according to her, is an
"ideology"
.
"I quote you, Madam Minister:
'for me, an ideology is to put into the head of someone an idea that he would not have had alone."
These are your words. ”
She wonders:
"What else are we doing by defending gender neutrality and the pronoun ial, than putting ideas in the minds of our young people that they would not have had on their own?" In reality, you are giving in to wokism and lobbies. You segment society with median punches, while your role, as Minister of the Republic, is to defend what unites us. ”
To applause, Laurence Garnier concluded with these words that sound like a motto:
"Inclusive writing excludes, excludes inclusive writing."
And regretted the lack of agreement on the subject between the ministers.
