This might give you some supporting arguments, though I don't suppose it
will change your client's views at all:

   AGPS Style Manual for Authors, Editors and Printers - Fifth edition,
   1994
      Chapter 8 Non-discriminatory language
      http://www.agimo.gov.au/__data/assets/file/18828/chp8.pdf

If you have a printed copy of the latest edition, even better.
