I worry that articles like this come off more as telling people what they are not allowed to say, instead of as educating
-
Which is a problem, since it lets the antiPC crowd make the issue less about respect and more about "word policing."

Why do you want to micro-police other people's speech & thoughts? Even the well-intentioned ones. Seems like an unhealthy fixation.
-
I suspect it's more of a tone problem. I think the author is just trying to explain how a group feels about language.
-
Tone, is patronising, but content is worse. It portrays trans ppl as petty, fragile, intolerant, self-obsessed.
-
Language is about shared human experience, not personal idiosyncrasy. We get to define our own lives, not the language the majority use.
