the fact that states of matter are changed by pressure as well as temperature and the fact that co2(dry ice) has a liquid state on jupiter are among some of the things my science teachers disliked me bringing up n class

my experience with seeing various different discussions irl, the internet and tv from people in various different groups (ie. lgbt, different nationalities/ethnicities, disabilities, ect) there is never a single point of view shared by all people in terms of what words they use to describe themselves, what they prefer others to call them and what they consider offensive can be very individual.
it can also be worse to use the wrong term while thinking you are right or being pc by using can be considered more insulting then using the "slur"
one example(that i am personally familiar with) is related to being disabled and it is a big issue abled people or even other disabled people speaking for disabled people on what is "correct"
for example people have tried to say that using "disabled" is bad and using "differently abled" is some how better but most(i should add not all, there are exceptions just like everything above) prefer the term disabled and the other terms erase our struggles and insisting they are correct takes away our voice
another example is the use of queer, alot of people identify as queer and use it as an umbrella term which is more inclusive then lgbt and there are people who say its a slur and shouldn't be used(sometimes even telling people they cant identify as queer themselves) i guess im queer...? i dont really use any labels for my sexual orientation and dont like when people insist i must x or y or that i must choose a label
to sum up i guess humans are complicated creatures and we do not all agree on everything
