Gender Pronouns

Languague is constantly changing to accommodate inclusion in society... or do you still refer to black people as "coloured" (or "colored" where you're from)?

Language does certainly change to reflect society.
I moved to London in the early 90’s and said the word “coloured” in a discussion.
I didn’t know any better and thought it more polite at the time than the term “black”.
I was blasted by a black lady for using that word and haven’t used it since.
Although “person of colour” seems acceptable now.

Can't the same logic you've posted there be applied to the topic of this thread? If not, I'd ask why that's the case?
