If you can control what words mean, even to the point of changing that meaning as needed to support your ever-changing needs, you can control what people hear and think to some extent.
    Democrats and other liberals have been doing that years, even with the constitution. Example, the 8th Amendment, they treat the conjunctive "and"to mean the same as "or".

      So, would you be more comfortable referring to white people as caucasiano and caucasiana? Or maybe asiano and Asiana? It's silly. It doesn't matter. It's just a word. It costs nothing to use it.

          It would cost me nothing, but neither does using the same words that have been used for decades. If I do that, however, I stand the risk of being accused of being racist. Again, control the meaning of words to control information/conversation. This is a standard practice among the left, even mentioned in Rules For Radicals (you follow that book, even if you haven't read it, that's how pervasive this technique is).

              I'm truly sorry you are so threatened by this. Change is difficult, I get it. However, change is inevitable. Without change there would be no progress

                I have no problem with meaningful change, this is not that. This is someone pretending to be offended to try to force others to join them in their offended state. More white SJW types are concerned with this than are those of latin descent, similar to those trying to get sports team names changed. In general it's not the supposed offended that want it, it's someone who thinks that people should be offended. Or removing iconic characters from food packaging without looking into the history of those people. Aunt Jemima was one of the first black female millionaires in the US, someone that the left should celebrate, instead she got "cancelled". The indian on Land 'O Lakes butter was drawn by a native american to honor their culture, "cancelled" because she offended someone.

                  So what?? Why do you care SO deeply for this. How has your life changed with the removal of or creation of a name?

                  BTW. "Latinx is used generally as a gender-neutral term for Latin Americans, but it has been especially embraced by members of Latin LGBTQ communities as a word to identify themselves as people of Latin descent possessing a gender identity outside the male/female binary."

                  These people care about how they are addressed or identified. It has absolutely nothing to do with you. Unless of course you are of Latin American decent.

                  Identifying people the way they would like to be identified take zero effort.

                    Why does a transgender man get upset if I call him "dude"?

                        I bet he would hate it here where a lot of food service employees like to call everyone "guy".

                              I feel so much better knowing that Biden hid our national secrets in his garage beside his corvette. I'm starting to believe that the powers that be in the democrat party are trying to get rid of Biden. He's 80-years old, white and male. He no longer fits the profile that democrats desire. I think Joe is in big trouble.
