Why Explaining 'The N-Word' To Non-Black People Is So Damn Exhausting | HuffPost
I don't know anyone who uses the "n" word. That is not the point or the crux of any conversations on political correctness. PC is a new language that is a shelter for a new mode of communication that does not allow a spade to be called a spade.

We are not only being forced to accept we aren't kind or nice if we don't use ridiculous language, we are expected to build a whole new series of bathrooms when people who have identified as a certain gender have probably been using that gender's bathroom for a long time unnoticed. The very small numbers of individuals that this directly affects is so small as that most of us have never even noticed that they were using the bathroom that was different than their sex at birth. Most people don't ever want to hurt someone's feelings who are born with an atypical condition. The callous and unkind aren't going to be changed by a third type of bathroom.
