And what am I supposed to do with my male and female connectors? I'm going to have to start using gender neutral or trans DB9 connectors? Normally I would suggest that somebody says these things as a great prank joke. But unfortunately there are people out there who take the idea seriously. |

Insert quote from Rick and Morty: "Maybe people that create things aren’t concerned with your delicate sensibilities, y’know?" |

I vote for * "manager" and "minion" * "politician" and "elector" * "controller" and "controlled" * "SWMBO" and "Rumpole" (but nfmax beat me to it) |

Black or white-washing language will only help hiding racism superficially. It won't solve anything. Video streaming services have started blocking some movies because of "inappropriate language or scenes". But you still can get them on disc. What about all the literature we have? Paintings? If we start cleansing we can't simply stop, there are also many other things which offend people. In the old days of BBSs and the various store-and-foward networks we had some basic rules called "netiquette". One of the rules was "don't offend anyone and don't get offended easily". BTW, if your DB9s don't mate get some gender changers. |

How about some diversity among gender changers, what if want to change my DB9 male to something not female/male :-DD |
