"We rightly kick people to the curb based on past conduct."
It is VERY WRONG to do that if they are "kicked to the curb" for using a word, phrase or term that is now considered offensive (by some) but was absolutely NOT generally considered offensive at the time it was used.
"Yes, our understanding of terms (and thus our usage) evolves but I really do not think that 'tranny' was a neutral term a decade ago."
You may not think so, but it was absolutely considered neutral by many people, OF COURSE depending on the context of the word's usage. |
