people being weird about inclusivity 

we just saw someone make the argument on the internet that inclusive language (someone was talking about alternatives to "ladies and gentlemen" that would include nonbinary people) is inherently exclusive because it excludes right-wing people, somehow????

@not_on_pizza I don't think so!

but the argument is particularly weird when you realize that.... it's not exclusive of right-wing people? like presumably "ladies and gentlemen and everyone else" or whatever alternative you'd come up with to use would still include everyone regardless of affiliation
