In another thread, it was brought to my attention that we am not allowed to use certain centuries old definitions because they have been 'updated'. That discussion was about the definition of 'racism'. I asked who controls the 'words' and who exactly gets to update the meaning of those commonly used words.
I saw this yesterday and thought this would be a discussion to attempt to have.

IMO this is a move to be 'inclusive' to trans people at the sake of women (we are discussing birthing humans after all).
The recent call to change the word for a person who comes into a country illegally from Alien to undocumented. Why? What possible purpose does it serve?
Even 'white supremacy' doesn't mean 'white supremacy'.
I am sure we are all somewhat familiar with Orwell and 1984. So i thought this would be a good place to post and discuss the language that we are seeing right in front of us. If we can't even share a language with common definitions, how do we expect to share a government?
