and "birthing person" sucks especially. trying to turn "mother" into a slur because some infinitesimally tiny percentage of men who give birth might feel excluded. if a man's doing something traditionally feminine don't call him a woman about it, how about that. blanket bans are a bad tool
I could try to explain to you why health care needs this term, but I can tell you really don't care.
you people care so much more about compiling evidence to convince each other to say you're good than you ever have about actually doing good
Yeah, I've never done anything good, I just compile evidence! Really? "Health care needs some terms of art" ain't exactly rocket science.
I'm not Latina but everyone I know who is fucking *hates* "latinx." being too lazy and ignorant and cowardly and colonizer-brained to bother learning spanish genders is not allyship. we already had a nonbinary version - it's "Latine"
white shitlibs getting together in a conference room and deciding they've solved language for everyone, that they know what people want to be called better than the people themselves - that's just trad bullshit in a different haircut
and you know what, Whites: most indiginous Americans call themselves "Indians." it's not their problem that you cemented a misnomer in your own language. Nothing in English is the right name anyway. The entire drive to make a collective term for a whole continent of people is your need, not theirs
The more racist thing about the Cleveland Indians was the Chief Wahoo logo, not the name. Now "Redskins" on the other hand...
