Thanks for standing up against people using the literal meaning of problematic words. Despite the best efforts of so many brave wokefolk, there is still far too much of this sort of thing.
This reminds me of a thread a few months ago on which I engaged fully, but eventually gave up as some people just wouldn't accept that people use language differently. I don't want to go over it all again, but it revolved around the use of the word 'queer' - not used in relation to a person (as that can potentially be misinterpreted) but to describe an object or a situation.
Apparently, if I find that my toaster doesn't seem to be working and say to myself "Hmm, that's queer", rather than just using language and vocabulary in a normal, instinctive and valid everyday way, I am in fact latently and subliminally declaring my hatred for all homosexuals worldwide, it would seem.
Certain people just would not have it that, because they only know one meaning of a traditional word, or would themselves only think to use (or avoid using) it in a hateful and offensive way, other people might innocently use language in the same way that English speakers have done throughout the centuries.
There's so much genuine hatred in the world that needs to be addressed and challenged, it seems quite a waste of time and energy to look for it where there obviously is none.
