  > Might want to try taking your own advice. Please show me where I did any of: - Assume why people are using the words they are - Assume why people care/don't care about a certain issue - Tried to force my values onto people. Saying "if you didn't know, wording things this way can come off weird. Maybe try X instead? No pressure (:" is very different from "yeah well obviously your intent here is X [because of the last few years]." I'm not here to force people to change. But if people didn't know something, and do want to change on their own, I'd rather the information be there for them if they want it.

    I don't care about this issue, but you opened with stating "it sounds weird". An absolute statement. Not like you are wording it here. Way to derail a thread about someone loosing their life with semantics policing.

    I didn't accuse you of doing any of the things in your bullets so I can't really respond to them. What I did say is that you're pushing your biases onto others while simultaneously telling others not to do the same thing. Your life experiences have led you to the point today where you object to a certain use of the word "female". That's fine. But taking your personal objection, which is not a universially agreed upon truth, and using it to lecture someone else in a condescending "you must not know English" way is another matter and probably why you're catching heat right now.

  The “n” word was socially acceptable for white folks to use to refer to Black people only a few decades ago.
