One of the worst excuses ever used on the internet.
If you're going to make judgements on terms/labels/language people use then yes, it includes everybody.

You want things changed down to the slightest description just for the sake of it, or in some vain attempt to please a minority group and then don't listen to the counter arguments but respond with "But it doesn't affect you".

If I get leaped on for daring to suggest someone with a penis is a male or an action man is a boy's toy then yes it does affect me.

Well actually, campaigns for alternative titles and pronouns will not affect in the slightest if you identity with the sex you were assigned with at birth.

No-one is stopping you from referring to either of those things in that manner either. All that's needed really is more widespread recognition and teaching that that is not the status quo..
