He pointed to genderbeing removed from driver's licences,calls for gender neutral bathrooms to be part of the building code and suggested changes to allow genders other than male or female to be recorded on birth certificates.
"A lot of people are going to look at this legislation and say,well it's not needed,there's no problem out there but a large part of the motivation here is to bring it to a head first in a respectful way so the issue can be discussed,debated and there can be a demonstrated authority one way or another,"Mr Katter said.
"We recognise the fact that there's a lot of permutations when you go into gender-neutral language,it doesn't stop at one or two or three,there's like I believe multiples,20,30 or 50 ... ways to address people,so that becomes technical and I'd like to see it where it's left to the individual to make that judgement - so that's why I say it's tolerance both ways."
Mr Katter,speaking before a parliamentary committee considering the bill,said he was contacted by a handful of university students complaining about being marked down for using certain words in their assignments.
"To me,five is enough ... I'm sure there's a lot[of people] that's OK with that but I think that's a problem,"he said.
The University of Queensland has disputed reports students have been marked down for using words such as"mankind",arguing it had no gender-neutral language policy or list of banned words.
Mr Katter conceded he had not been contacted by any schools in his Traeger electorate about the issue,and he was not aware of any entities that had been prosecuted for the use of non-gender specific language.
