Except it’s not right wing people using the term. So, how’s that work?


I actually work for a center right think tank and some of the young people use the term. Not everyone, but they use it.

Duh.


So is French, so is Italian, so are other Asian languages. But thank God we have progressive English speakers telling people who speak gendered languages what is or isn't right. Mindwarpingly stupid.

It very much exists in academia where a lot of these DEI initiatives originate from. It's also used in Latino LGBT circles were the term originated from, but that's a very small percentage of the Latino population.
