Yes can we stop using trans and go back to transvestite?

But where does that leave trans sexual? Doesn't that also include 'trans'?

This is all covered by so-called "critical theory" and the linguistic philosophers of the Frankfort School -- a cornerstone of contemporary radical leftist thought.

I would like to get rid of 'unconscious bias'

When unconscious I cannot be held responsible?

Someone else is 'perceiving' my unconscious mind I dont believe in that possibility

Control words and you control thought. Orwell had some stuff to say about how that worked.

Could we get 'bombshell' added to the list, por favor?

While we're at it, let's stop saying "news" when we mean "opinion" or "propaganda."

Why does everything have be shortened to the lowest common denominator? You lose a lot of meaning this way.

Call them transsexuals.

Someone suggested "News-pinion" a while, but it obviously went nowhere.

I'm certainly no literary genius, but one word I've noticed that's frequently used erroneously is 'ignorant', when they really mean 'arrogant'.

Oh, and the phrase goes 'I couldn't care less', not 'I could care less', lol

I think its pretty obvious the word they meant is ignorant.
