The world has a lot bigger equity problems than words like "man" or "woman".
Yes...but if you are a zealous-enough ideologue in your little web bubble of linguistic one-upmanship, then you can get away with doing nothing actually useful about real-world problems.
You need to stop using any sort of written, signed, or spoken language - out of basic respect for those who are not able to do so, or who make the personal choice not to do so.

Thanks for the call-out. I kept editing and arrived at the same conclusion.
My only qualm is the amount of attention given to pronouns compared to the larger problems affecting more people.
And forbidding the term "survival of the fittest" as able-ist.. give me a break.
"I see" -> able-ist against the blind
"I understand" -> able-ist against low intellect individuals
Where should the line be drawn?
