but this is actually how the English language used to work. In Old English, “man” just referred to a person, whether they were male or female, adult or child.

It still does, and it makes no logical sense for ignorant people to keep trying to force a binary divide for a non-binary population.

Just use “man” for anyone, if someone’s demographic is ever relevant, that’s why we have adjectives in the first place.

It’s just weird when people have to shout:

And also people with vaginas!

Literally right after saying “everyone”. And it’s annoying because like most people who are the problem, they legitimately think they’re the ethical ones.
