“Terms and practices change over time,” Gore said. “It doesn’t mean it is a zero-sum game. The important thing is how do we think about the changes. It gives us a chance to be open and speak.”

Gore isn’t totally off base. There is nothing wrong with inclusive language. However, terms and practices change over time based on their use by the public. The social justice crowd believes that they can use bureaucratic power to will new terms and practices into existence.

The amount of Americans that go out of their way to use gender-inclusive terms like “Latinx” is incredibly small. To many, “Latino” is already a gender-neutral term that can be used to describe a man, woman, or transgender person of Latin American descent.

Earlier this week, two British universities banned the word “woman” with the word “womxn,” which is allegedly more inclusive to transgender individuals.

“I’ve never met a trans woman who was offended by the word woman being used, so I’m not sure why this keeps happening,” Jess Phillips, a Labour MP, wrote on Twitter. “As if internet dissent now replaces public policy. I get what they are trying to do but why is it only women not men where this applies.
