In our recently submitted grants we had to change “traumatic brain injury” to “concussive brain injury” and “male and female mice” to “male and non-male mice” because traumatic and female are now verboten words that can get our grants killed. It’s insanity.
How DARE they Assume Mice can be MORE then just Male AND Female! NONMALE means ANYTHING THATS NOT MALE you Stupid Libtards Commies!

Where is all the outrage for word switching here?
The master/main folks are sure silent.
Or the male/female folks vs plug and socket?
I don't think anybody was against master/slave over primary/secondary.
I think the difference is that those are reasonable and come from within the community of use. Even if a loud minority acted up for a few days.
The examples in the post are just silly and are forced onto the community of use by political overlords.
Ironically enough, if they used German words for such, it might just pass the Turd Reich censors. 🤷🏼♂️
