Because it’s retarded. Even stupid people realize this is stupid.

Add:

Deadnaming - it's ridiculous nonsense. you don't get to erase your past through transition

assigned at birth - you weren't assigned, the doctor simply looked at your junk and through scientific observation identified your sex. No judgement or ulterior motive

cis - I'm not cis, I'm straight or heterosexual. While we're at it, let's stop worrying about orientation. No one cares who you're fucking and I'm not playing your language games

non-binary - you are not "non-binary" you are delusional. Your sex plays a major part in your identity, even if your identity actively tries to obfuscate it

queer - another nonsensical, catchall term. gay, straight, bi. That's really what it comes down to. you can invent terms all day long, but there's really only two sets of tools to work with. you either like one set or the other, or both

heteronormative - hetero is normative. there's a reason our bits fit together and the vast majority of the planet are attracted to the opposite sex. biology. stop trying to make it into a political thing, when its driven by biological imperative.

I don't think anyone likes them. Only media types use it. It's a demoralisation thing.

I like that they used a photo of a Latinx birthing parent chestfeeding to illustrate the story.

Because it’s important to respect the under privileged Latinx birthing individuals that mammary nourish theybies.

chestfeeding is the funniest to me, like...i'm still gonna have this baby, and i'm still feeding it with the milk from my mammary glands, since women have mammary glands and i am the baby's mother, but in spite of all that physical evidence of what i am being simply undeniable i'm gonna change a word just slightly and try my damndest to deny it anyway. yes it's the word "breast" that's upsetting to me, not all the undeniable facts of my biology.

you'd think the fact that they were a man deep down inside would mean they didn't have any interest in fulfilling the most fundamental of female roles. at the very least they could use a bottle or something, but no, the whole world has to bend over backwards so "men" can still fulfill their biological desire for motherhood.

men can, actually, lactate. If you muck about with hormones enough, that is.

Yea, well 97% of us aren't queers so what did they expect.

More that need 'rejecting':

  1. Gifting - 'Gift' isn't a verb. Probably originated in some Bangalore call-center.
  2. [Everything] "just dropped" - for those too illiterate to understand 'became available' or "recently disclosed"

All words in English can be Verbed.

Americans also are not buying far-left Democrats’ beloved term “Latinx,” an invented word which neuters “Latino” and “Latina” of their gender identifiers.

Have any Spanish dictionaries dropped the genitive cases of other Spanish words?

I'm curious how "chicx" it's going to be received to replace chico and chica.
