"Only women can get pregnant."
"Men can get pregnant."
I think both sentences are true. I think gender neutral language like pregnant people is fine, but such speech should not be compelled imo. It should not be that big of a deal if someone uses the term pregnant women. Blind people should not take offense to a politician saying "can't you see?", and someone with one arm should not be offended if they hear someone use the plural 'arms'.
I do not like how RBG's quotes were edited by the ACLU of all people to make the language gender neutral. You don't edit someone's words after they're dead, and especially a group like the ACLU who are supposed to be and used to be staunch supporters of free speech.
I agree. Also, plenty of black people use the term CPT, which means coloured people time. Some are offended by the term coloured people, of course, but you're certainly not a racist for using it.
He's not against the police in every situation and he doesn't fly the pride flag with the black and brown stripes added to it. Massive racist confirmed.

So are they racists?
