โ๏ธ๐ค - HR sounding ass
Empathy and caring how others want to be referred to is HR?? Lol, wild...
Kamala lost. The idpol of kinder language is a trashfire and a failure because the assumption that "empathy" is a shared quality among humanity is wrong and "bloodlust" is actually far more common, while complete ignorance and anti-intellectualism and accusations of "overthinking" prevail over both as you can see in the programming.dev techbro below.
Talking about how language influences views of marginalized or minority groups is useless when most people can barely even read more than a paragraph without bitching because they never developed reading stamina.
As for those who make these conversations necessary in the first place - they will always use the meanest word they can and all this has done is fed fuel to reactionaries.
There are far more important real fights to fight, like access to HRT and surgeries for people suffering from gender dysphoria - a crippling disorder, before you metropolitan libs start going on about "trans-femmes" and "masculine gendered language"
