That is silly. Toxicity as a word originated from venom and is decades older than when the feminist movement started to use it to describe other human people in order to dehumanize and spread hate. But lets go to a political term that currently is seen in the news with wild disagreeing views: the illegal immigrant. The US administration defines this as only being about the subgroup of immigrant that has committed a crime. They see no problem talking about deport all those illegal immigrants, how the illegal immigrants are a drain on the country, and how many of the illegal immigrants are rapists and gang members. And yet when the opposition object they are all talking about immigrants and how immigrants are important for the country and economy. How among immigrants there are very few rapists and gang members, and how the administration are racist when they make general statements about immigrants. And in return the administration accuse the opposition for disengaging from rational discourse, thumping their chests, and grandstanding to defend all immigrants from the perceived slight of being called rapists and gang members. If you want rational discourse then start by using language that do not dehumanize people. Second step is to avoid large generalization that is only veiled hatred. Only then is there even a possibility for rational discourse.
