So did I. For one thing, we talk. Not that this is necessarily any advantage...  |

We can go in circles like this forever, but that won't make the word discussed any less rude and disrespectful. |

you're right. mute people are not humans, humans are not animals, and the words "Male" and "female" are rude.  |

No, it doesn't bother me. I do the exact same thing with "males", so. . . .
In fact, I can get quite sexist on the other end of the spectrum.
Sex is what we are, like it or not, and each other operates differently, and certainly not all "bad".
