Are people actually hurt by its usage or is it another case of "protecting" people who don't really mind?

I mean I know people hurt by it personally so I don't use it, to each their own I guess. Surprised that's a hot take though

speaking about hot takes…. So Why are you still going on about the inconvenience of just changing words? Just learn new words and be done with it. Can’t be that hard. Kids can learn new words every day. I believe in you.
