[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Person first language means that you consider the person first, then describe the situation. Person who uses a wheelchair, not “she is in a wheelchair”. Person with a disability, not a cripple. Person who is undocumented, not an illegal alien. Person who is unhoused, not a homeless person etc.[/quote] There is pushback against person-first language coming from within the Deaf and autistic communities.[/quote] There are others that don't prefer this language either, see minor-attracted person. [/quote] Great example. Language is living but we need to exercise common sense and defer to names preferred by groups of people themselves. However, sick groups of people such as pedophiles, homicidal murderers and rapists that present great dangers to vulnerable members of society should not get to legitimize and neutralize their sickness through renaming.
