@Liberty1776 , point me to one place where someone threatened exclusion? @cincigoose was polite and said it's better not to use it. I'm saying it's more inclusive so please don't. No one's threatening anything. We're trying to appeal to your empathy and rationality, not make anyone scared of exclusion.
You're making a large leap from "please be polite" to government mandated PC fascism. Do you think maybe you're getting a bit hysterical?
@dankdane , "transvestite" in most places is now widely unacceptable; check this Google search: www.google.com/search?q=is+transvestite+acceptable&oq=is+transvestite+acceptable
The difference is that it's much easier for one party to stop using the word than it is for the other party to stop being offended by the word when "tranny" is regularly used against those people just for being the way that they are. If you're truly offended by the use of "SJW speak" have you reflected on why? For cross-dressers they're offended because people are insulting them and that's not much a person can do to not be offended by an insult. For you why is it that someone asking you to be polite offends you? Is it because you don't like people suggesting your behaviour isn't perfect? Or maybe you're just disgusted by cross-dressers and don't like to entertain the idea of them being near you?
