Sure, dismiss an entire swath of people out of hand. Great way to hold a mirror to yourself, provided you're not too lazy to lift it.

Oooh, look at you, reshaping the language like a true social warrior. The greatness of advanced enlightenment is surely quite the burden, endured for the sake of teaching progress to the lesser masses. Will we soon be arrested for word-violence should we not adopt these changes? Will the "La-tinx" suffer a similar fate, should they continue to throw off a gender-clouding label they do not like and never agreed to?
