This isn't a new discussion I've seen, and it's something I've dealt with internally myself. It's also not as though this is a final answer. I do try to evade these words where I can, but generally I don't think they're harmful enough for me to "swear off" so to speak, if that makes sense? I'm not so dull as to say it's "a personal choice" - that stuff's just a cop-out for choosing the worst options, but I think that simply suggesting that some people may be offended by certain terms is enough to lend people to change their biases in terminology; or at least it is for me haha

Thanks for the good natured response. I appreciate that in this thread, given how intense some people seem to be.
