For the record I was posting in support of inclusive language, but pointing out that context and convention matter.

They seem to have even scrubbed my comment from their instance, lol.

The key is that you said "but..." which in some communities fails the test of absolute 100% agreement and makes you The Enemy. I had a very similar experience there, in my case it was saying someone who is "uncomfortable" with gender issues might not actually "hate" anybody, they could just be having trouble overcoming how they were raised. But in the end it's like if a TV channel stops but you get thousands of other channels, so oh well .
