Equivocation is a logical fallacy.
Lazy vocabulary choices cause an uptick in suicide rates for a group that consists of hundreds of millions of people.
Those hundreds of millions of people have loved ones who care about them.
They have friends, family, jobs, neighbors, etc. who will miss them when they voluntarily "check out" because of the pressure that lazy vocabulary choices put upon them.
Speak more precisely and abide the Golden Rule.

I had a very dear family member kill himself, in part because of hostility he experienced for being openly gay in the 90s 🫂

Most people with what we call "mental illness" are just pussies, that were raised by pussies. Words are not violence and I won't abide such nonsense.
I very rarely resort to personal insults and try to debate things calmly and rationally. This post was not a debate nor did I call anyone out specifically.
I'm just one retard with free speech and an npub posting notes to the void. I appreciate that you generally post uplifting and thought provoking things but that's not my purpose here.
The person I mentioned who committed suicide very specifically did it because of the violence he encountered. He was pretty liberal with his speech and I grew up calling him those types of words just because he thought it was funny. He also regularly called me a lil bitch when I was 7, to be fair I was one 💅😅🤣
I try to mind my language more now, because I'm doing a lot of work on myself to be more conscience. But sometimes I get in a salty mood and say salty things. I certainly wasn't interpreting your original post as that, but it is nice of you to clarify here. Some people talk rough but aren't being rough and that's ok because free speech means sounding like an asshole sometimes.
GFY 🫂🤣
