I can't ever see the 90s aesthetic making a comeback like the 80s did. It's just aggressively unappealing. Who knows though.

I is intersex, and A is asexual (which is actually a highly contentious inclusion within the community)

Two-Spirit (also two spirit or, occasionally, twospirited) is a modern, pan-Indian, umbrella term used by some Indigenous North Americans to describe Native people in their communities who fulfill a traditional third-gender (or other gender-variant) ceremonial and social role in their cultures

I feel dirty contributing to this thread, but apparently "mothers" are cancelled. They're now "human milk-feeding individuals" although "lactating person" is "appropriate in many settings."

It also says sometimes sex specific terms (like mother) are appropriate. Just working to be inclusionary, nothing being canceled.

At least they're not going with birthing person--I recently listened to a rant from one of my relatives who adopted her daughter on how offensive that term was to her.

But good god, four words and ten syllables is an abomination to the English language. With the birthing person thing I was going to joke that they could just cut that in half by going with birthers, but, y'know, that word already got taken for something else....

That's fair. I saw that and it just made me laugh that calling a mother a mother is "appropriate in many settings."

I’ve noticed a couple places in the hivemind (Twitter/Reddit) that “gestation” has replaced “pregnancy” when discussing the bonkers Texas abortion law. I bet that rebrand is coming elsewhere soon.
