The haters are the root of the problem, but it's not like I'm not using it/its because I'm afraid of being scolded or made fun of. It's unfortunately tied to dehumanization in the sense that not being human is a bad thing, and that makes it fun for bigots to say and uncomfortable for good people to say. I lament the situation, but I also accept the way it is.
