I know you are new here and that is relevant, because my suggestion is this: Trust us that we know what reality is regardless of whether or not we use a particular set of terms so that we all know what we mean. Messing with that is just going to make it harder for us to converse. We know. Have faith. :-)

I know that you know, but I think if we changed language to make the sex of these people more unavoidably obvious to normies, it would help sway public opinion.

Indeed, but we are operating within some constraints trying to do that here. I am not sure if the mods have any suggestions regarding this.

But if they do we'd kind of have to do some outreach to get everyone to shift to new terms so we're staying on the same page. I don't have any suggestions at present. But of course, I am as resistant to playing along as you are and I think that feeling applies to most of us. We're kind of making do here at the moment.
