However I do NOT find it inclusive at all, to wholesale remove usual language.
Like, even the likes of this ridiculous 'menstruators' thing (possibly the most well known instance of this?). Menstruators, and 'people who menstruate' are bloody awful terms for so so many. I have never, since the start of this, understood why the answer was not...'women, transmen and non binary people'?! Seems the bloody obvious answer? But no. Not acceptable.

Why isn't acceptable to add rather than remove is the question?
