That's honestly a really shitty take. "Hey, I'm going to take this word that means one thing and how people are fighting for true equality and I'm going to shit all over that word and make it meaningless. It's just how language evolves."
Such brain dead logic. Your political views aren't superior to anyone else's and language doesn't bend to your personal biases. If a word is used or invented organically by a large amount of people to describe something, then that word has a new definition, and is thus expanding the vocabulary in the dictionary. That is literally how language evolves. It's like how the word bug used to mean insect or a small annoyance but then expanded to include concealed devices used for spying and then expanded again to include computer errors. Validity in the world isn't limited to your myopic views.
