We were wondering if the docs etc here could be rewritten in such a way so as to not call all of us human since some of us are not.
Much like being transgender, being otherkin, alter{human/being} or transspecies can have a lot of dysphoria attached to it and we have had to at least explicitly tell one person on lemmy that we are not human even though it is in our profile.
We think that being more inclusive is always a good thing and will gladly work with those who can edit the docs etc in order to find more inclusive ways to say what needs to be said without misspeciesing any{one/many}.
Thanks for reading this and we hope this finds y’all well.
To me, it seems like replacing almost all instances of this with “people” would be a harmless change. Is that something that would work? (Some, like “human emotion”, could just become “emotion”)
We were thinking people or sentients/sapients, yeah.
