If you're ignorant enough to claim that's what's going on, you're not fit to talk about anything with any authority, because you've just proven you're an idiot.
Same people that say stuff like that, say things like "why is it 'this person' can say 'thing' but 'that person' can't"? The ones who can say 'thing' are the ones that don't have a history of pushing a bat shit narrative and advocating for government control on such matters.
Everyone knows what's technically correct, that words have stricter definitions when practicing science. That's not the part that makes you bigoted.
So, Let's talk about bigotry and moral panic - accurately. I typed everything before this paragraph after reading only the quoted line, before getting to the part I knew was coming, and would be the ultimate message. And, of course, the final paragraph can be accurately considered bigoted moral panic. Once you've established that as your agenda, no matter how much 'authority' you think you have on the subject, you're not getting invited to the rational discussions, which people are having, just without you.
