[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same thing, different name.  Virtue signaling with language - indicates one is in the “in-group”.  [/quote]

+1.  Using terms like "unhoused" indicates that the speaker/ writer is aware of changes in the common vocabulary that have occurred in the last 30 minutes, but that we are all expected to be thoroughly versed on. Also a great tool to be used for judging others.[/quote]

I love your answer. It's all about superiority over those less in the know.[/quote]

Thank you. It's not only less in the know, it's posed superiority over those who refuse to go along with the left's "new vocabulary" on many topics.[/quote]

Funny that the only superiority and judgment here is coming from the people who dislike the term unhoused.

I hear both and tend to use homeless (because it's how I hear the homeless families I work with identify themselves), and I've never once gotten pushback for it (and again, I work with homeless families professionally)[/quote]

Any reason to pose as a victim, but never a reason to look a little deeper at how language can shape a call to action. [/quote]

Ohhhhh.... so now you're actually admitting it! Language is no longer used simply to communicate; it's now a purpose to "shape a call to action." Whose action? Who decides what the action is?

There you have it, folks. The left's thinking on perfect display.[/quote]
DP. Are you against the evolution of language? Would you prefer we still use the N-word? I bet you do not think it’s ok.[/quote]

Morality policing at its finest. Please let's let false equivalency rule the day.

How is the use of a degrading, derogatory slur on the same level as describing a factual situation, especially when there is very little difference actually between homeless and unhoused? Person first would be a person without a home, putting emphasis on the individual's humanity. [/quote]

Person experiencing homelessness is a pretty commonly used term with the same "it's virtue signaling!" objections from the same people.[/quote]

That's the point . . . and they're right until real issues are addressed and true ways of dealing with these issues are developed what is the difference between homeless and unhoused at the end of the day????[/quote]
