The reality is that most black, disabled, Muslim, lgbtqihniawtct people probably couldn't care less what their 'title' is as long as they are treated with respect, and the ones that jump up and down about it are the sort of people that just want to complain and point the finger at someone for their shit life.
The irony of the situation is that initially the aim was for everyone to be treated in a non discriminatory way - funny how we've reached a point where it's gone the other way and anyone 'different' now has to be treated as a special case.
Anyhow, back to my original point. I think the time has come for people to stop worrying about what you can or cannot say for fear of offending someone. Let's face it, whatever you say there'll always be someone that gets offended so why worry about it?
As you were people.
