    Neither is "railroad," but "railroaded" is. Just saying.

    You can "railroad" someone into doing something. You can "railroad" whole groups, whether malevolent or benevolent, because that train is just unstoppable. "Railroading" is done by enthusiasts, from the HO track in the basement, to driving a train for Santa Fe, or being CEO of a major railroad, or writing books & songs. It's a noun in some usages, & it's a verb in many. Is there a point to this?

    I stand by my original statement. Or maybe we could go out tonight and go gendering. I have no idea what that is, but apparently you can "misgender". It's so much easier now I guess. Only 3 syllables, as opposed to 5 in "misidentify". I have a terrible gut feeling about this. It's likely to backfire. Won't take much. It's a fight. If the goal is semi-tolerable bogus "tolerance", instead of full acceptance as individuals, equal in the society at large, then it's over. Try again next decade. Y'all gotta pick your battles carefully. I just don't think rewriting the dictionary should be high on the priority list.
    I'm on your side. Just giving a different perspective on the possible political ramifications of this tactic.
    Good luck in your endeavors.

    Especially you, Trish. 💌
