was handed a new style guide at work and now we gotta use “person-first” language meaning you can’t say “lgbt person” you gotta say “a person who is lgbt” and it’s very fun and whimsical for me to imagine a world in which this helps anyone

liberals have gotten themselves so confused about language that they think saying “a mentally ill person” somehow erases that individual’s personhood. they also think the magic solution is to just clumsily rearrange the words. fascinating.
