I have no problem calling someone by their preferred gender term and including gender-neutral language. The problem I have is that there is an ever-growing, constantly-changing secret set of rules created, not as much to make people feel better, but in order to purposefully shame those who's viewpoints differ from the current political viewpoint that all human interaction is steeped in racism/sexism/bigotry. The day after the Amy Coney Barrett used the term 'sexual preference,' Merriam-Webster Dictionary updated it to say it is offensive. https://www.newsweek.com/amy-coney-barrett-preference-definition-1539088 https://www.newsweek.com/amy-coney-barrett-preference-defini... Are these rules really improving society or are they just being weaponized to impose a political doctrine?

Honestly I think it's an arcane set of rules that's meant to cement and elevate the position of the managerial/upper-class and ignore "the barbarians". As much as the left claims to love the working class, all this cancellation stuff and hyper-sensitivity effectively disowns and demonizes the entire working class (idk, at least in my experience doing blue collar stuff, pretty much everyone I know in the city now would have an aneurysm sitting around a lunch trunk at break).
