Unfortunately now we have both.

What exactly is your problem with it? "just look at this" while pointing to a normal tweet doesn't exactly convey a point.

Oh he made his point. He hates the fact that another human being would acknowledge the existence of trans people. The group mandating specific word choices is comprised of people absolutely livid that anyone has the right to choose any descriptive word they would like from “woman”, “cisgender”, “transgender”, “penis-haver”, “penisist” (my personal choice, as a cispenisist pianist myself), “menstruator”, “ballbreaker,” “cocksucker”, “vagiqueen”, “menstrually-leaning” to many, many more.

We have a slew of Englishian slop we can yeet to make communication more interesting and dynamic, if not hauntingly vulgar, and darn me to heck if I’m to be judged for engaging in a lil’ bit of fun while I got me this few decades to see how things play out with these daily consciousness experiences.

Get your hands off my words, I say.

Because one day in the not too distant future, that consciousness will run out the clock, and it’s game over, man! Game over!

Normal tweet? What dictionary is menstruators found in?

[ImPostingOnHN]

You're saying your sole criticism of the tweet is that it uses "menstruators" to describe "people who menstruate"?

[plagiarist]

That is correct. The person who brought the tweet up has previously made racist comments on HN. You are interacting with people who prefer Donald because of the bigotry.

[asdff]

Normal people would use the word "women" along with appropriate context. Have you ever heard the word "menstruators" in your life?

[ImPostingOnHN]

Ok, so your sole criticism of the tweet is that it uses "menstruators" to describe "people who menstruate".

My advice to you is to avoid getting so worked up over a single tweet (much less one which is normal), especially if it's just because it uses a single, clinical, inoffensive word you personally don't like. You're going to blow a coronary if you keep it up like this. Touch grass.

you know, I chose that particular instance (among many!) of Biden-era pandering to the mentally ill because I assumed that even among the local yuppies no one would defend that.

>Touch grass.

bro, literally go outside and call a woman that word you find nothing wrong with.
