#ScribesAndMakers 13 Sep
How pedantic are you?
Where common usage doesn't cause problems and the details aren't the point, not at all. I'm happy to call a tomato a vegetable or a fruit depending on context (it's both), and I don't care whether Pluto is a planet.
Where fine distinctions matter, I will split hairs down to the atomic level. Not everything is a problem, but when there is a problem, I care very much exactly how it is described and quantified.
PS. Trans women are women.
