  • I'm not at my keyboard so my reply will be more brief than I'd like. Unfortunately, connotations will always have a significant amount of contextual nuance, and human communication is absolutely full of it. I appreciate that you make an effort to not upset people, and understand how certain terms have been ruined by those mis-using phrases. It is absolutely frustrating when something should be neutral. But language itself conveys semantics and tone, it will be impossible to have everyone take even the most innocuous sentences as neutral, because unless you're lecturing facts, people will try to attach a purpose to your words.

  • The main difference is that humans see other animals as purchasable or otherwise controllable and generally only refer to their sex when forcing them to breed. Women don't like the comparison.

  • You shouldn't do that, because if you're writing it down it means you want to either refer to it later or have someone else refer to it later. The year changes and you're searching for that receipt or email... why set yourself up for failure?

  • My 9 year old son has a speech disorder because his first year of school was spent in lockdown. Still very much in support of covid measures, but his whole cohort is being studied already.
