Unfortunately, if it's the media we're talking about, remember that they have a distinct agenda: to present the "news" with as many colourful adjectives as they can in the shortest time possible...and of course, presumably, they do it while trying to be accurate and as clear as possible with the knowledge that they have.

Based on how long it's taken for these issues to be spoken about openly and accurately in mainstream Western society, that means it will take roughly another 100 years for the terminology to become agreeable to all, incisive beyond reproach, and non-insulting to anyone.

I'm glad the conversation can take place...but remember, we're in the early days of enlightening others around us, and that sort of thing doesn't happen overnight.
