Comment on Use 'egg-producing' not 'female', call to phase out binary languageparent

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?

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.
