I skipped this but I must stop and give it the credit it deserves. Someone that used Frell... well lets just say there aren't enough Farscape fans and I think that could be the friction some people are wanting in Clariten. Claire is actually a Nebari and Marten is a silly Delvian. Stick them in a peacekeeper prison and watch the sparks fly!!!!

Would warped allen wrenches suffice?

I think CM_albion means more that, there seems to not be a very unified language that's appropriate across the board. When there's fifteen or more different possible pronouns that a person may or may not find acceptable to be referred by, it can be extremely daunting, especially for those who have little to no experience with appropriate language. It seems like having -so many- terms, with no real consensus on what's acceptable does more to hurt understanding and acceptance among others than it does to educate.

this is what i meant yes.
I...was not expecting the amount of aggression people responded to my comment with. or the presumptions that i was against the terminology. i must admit it was a little upsetting.
i had no idea that simply mentioning that i occasionally have trouble keeping track of language when the shifting social norms to a more accepting and open stance so as not to accidentally offend people by using the wrong word at the wrong time is something as this is something i am very self conscious of as i as a person get very paranoid about the notion i might hurt someones feelings with my actions because i partially on the autism spectrum and have extreme difficulty gauging the body language of others and how they react to what i say or do and then not realize i did something wrong until its too late and we're increasingly living in a diverse and wonderful world full of colourful expressive people able and willing to be themselves that i support fully with all my heart would cause trouble.
maybe i should have just typed all that from the beginning. i am so sorry if what i said genuinely upset someone

NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!!
Is it cold in here?:
Oh, I understand entirely. This business of consciously working hard to do the right thing in an unfamiliar situation, and getting treated as an enemy over simple mistakes? But every time I start to gripe to myself about the work, I remember how much easier I have it than the people I'm talking about.
Besides, "biologically male" is way more confusing than MAAB(*). Jargon can actually be easier.
(*)Male Assigned At Birth. It means that the delivery room doctor put "male" on the birth certificate.
