    Changing terminology sucks oxygen out of the room. Sometimes it’s important. Often it’s not. We end up talking about Latino vs Latin vs Latinx, instead of immigration reform or better esl resources.

      ive never felt like that wrt queer terminology. like we can do both at once.

      i feel it applies here. we can remove stigma by moving from homeless to unhoused. and we can also push for better treatment for unhoused people in public spaces, more shelters, and ultimately just like, homes. they dont feel exclusive to me i guess is how i feel
