Language is a powerful tool. We can either choose language that divides and confuses, or language that unites and clarifies.

@shawncreed @JulienCoquet And that’s alright. We don’t force anyone to use certain language - it’s simply a suggestion.

@Hakaminah “People don’t care!”

There’s people here telling you they care.

“Well…maybe they shouldn’t care!”

Sure, life isn’t perfect and this may be a small thing to YOU. But isn’t it also a really small thing to change?

@JoelQuix @pragdua Changing language to be more inclusive is not about freedom of speech - it’s about empathy.

[AllyBot @GetAllyBot]

@father_tiresias @AdmiralOPG It’s very much not normalized to many folks and it’s a very small thing to change to make others feel included!

Create new habits: inclusive language requires breaking old habits. In order to change how you use language, we need to be conscious and deliberate in our choices so we don't fall back on previously used words and phrases.

If you hear someone using language that excludes others, say something. That's a way of changing culture, which changes slowly and often involves lots of small steps.

It can be very hard to confront noninclusive language, usually from influential people. However, confronting it can increase our confidence and when we confront someone about their language, they are less likely to do it again and change views on what is appropriate behavior.
