One of my daughters Professors (hard core, extreme leftist, marxist, etc) demands you refer to her as Latinx, and writes her academic work using that stupid word.  My hispanic Mexican American wife was basically "WTF is Latinx?  That is stupid".  She tolderates "hispanic" loathes Latina/latino, and prefers "American of Mexican heritage".

I couldn't do what she does. "American of Nicaraguan and Honduran heritage" takes too long.

Perhaps your daughter should use the term "latin" with no a or o or x?

Oh Lord that professor would have a conniption fit, and fail her on purpose!

I had a classmate in College whom the professor 'jokingly threatened' with class failure in front of the rest of us for having the 'wrong mindset'. His response (also in front of the class) was that if he was judged on anything but his work, he would make it his life's work to hound her out of the education system.

Guess what? He passed. 

Of course when I had tried a similar thing in High School (we had a 'substitute teacher' who was Birkinstocks wearing F-enist' who spent her entire class lecturing us about the 'horrors' of having her friend's newborn wear blue PJs, and I basically told her this friend and her ideas of 'oppression' was utterly full of sh/t and regaled her with the tale of a woman who REALLY had my admiration:  my Grandmother, who got ethnically cleansed out of Asia Minor. lived thru occupation during WW2 and a post war civil war, but still never had a bad word to say about anyone or anything in her then 70 plus years of life...)--I ended up in front of the Principal for being inappropriate.

Which proves the only way to deal with libtards is to have a 0% tolerance for their idiocy, and to not allow them any wiggle room.  They need to be told up front, and in no uncertain terms their mental illness will not ever be tolerated or allowed to infect anyone else.

And rightly so.  You must respect Ms Cartman's authoritay.

Except she was a hippy dippy sub who sat crosslegged in her stocking feet on the desk as she lectured us.

You'd think she'd be laid back, but some folks just hate their authority being challenged and will never admit to being wrong.  For some reason, many of them become teachers.

Perhaps using the phrase "An excess of adipose tissue as visually seen?"

Not even that, if this forum is governed by German law.

Human.

Oh wait.

No, not quite

Huperentity?

I suppose "herstory" is dead also. Transtory, maybe? Or perhaps just "story" now, given that it's all been re-written to the point that it's all just fiction.

Calling her human may be mis-species-ing her, as she may identify as a marmoset.

Perhaps not mentioning personal appearance at all?  Mind you, making it illegal to make such comments is worse than making them.

Germany oversteers into the very problem they are trying to avoid.

[rmgill]

It's a rule of driving/riding. If you fixate on something you want to avoid, you tend to steer right into it.
