They also recommend using the slur "queer" and describing men with mental health issues as women. Not exactly a great source to be referencing.

Lol fucking savage.

Also I wonder who complained that they find "homosexual" offensive? Because I suspect a lot of them were heterosexual trans. Can't be using a word that excludes them and acknowledges sex over gender.

They are using a top-down approach to force a way of thinking by changing the words people use just like in 1984.

Dictionaries generally do change definitions over time but that's due to the way people use words over time. They have already managed to get dictionaries to change terms like man and woman but virtually no one uses those words the way they have forced the definition to be in writing.

Autogynephiliac transgendered persons find homosexual offensive, even when it is their own homosexuality. That's why so many of them are trans instead of just queer.
