The "correct" word is whatever leftists feel like on a y given day. Or whatever is best for their agenda on that day.
genuinely did not know "preference" was offensive. and... i'm gay? "choice" would be incorrect. but do people choose their preferences?

For someone who is bisexual, at any given moment it is a conscious choice, is it not ?
-
Absolutely not.

I agree with you. I’m actually writing something now on “shamesplaining,” where words are used as weapons to alienate otherwise well-intended people. (Seeing this a lot on Clubhouse).

Wouldn’t “preference” be a good public descriptor of individuals born or natural sexuality. Ex: I’m straight I’d prefer to be known as straight, why is this complicated??

Don't worry, they will forget it is offensive in a few days and gaslight us if we ever remind them of this moment.

If "sexual preference" is offensive, then "Accessibility Preferences" must be as well. But in reality, "preference" doesn't actually imply that a choice was made; it only implies the favoring of one thing over another (for whatever reason that may be).

I was a bit confused by Hirono's comment. Can't one have a persistent preference that is biologically determined, or have no preference either way thanks to biology? I am sure some have preferences outside of biological determination too. Semantics over substance.

There’s some gray area in the definition of “preference”. It comes down to how it’s framed by each individual. Since “Preference” leaves open that something might be a “choice”, it would be tactful to not use “preference”.

But why does orientation imply anything different? I can be oriented one way on something and then change to be oriented differently. One is no more of a choice than the other.
