Some of our most common, ingrained expressions have damaging effects on millions of people – and many of us don't know we're hurting others when we speak.

    You literally said “they” were from hexbear and then “they” in the next sentence. Use proper English if you don’t want to imply what you implied

      “They”, as in the three or four members of the brigade. Or, the gender neutral “they”, whatever.

      I was actually referring to multiple people. Not everything is about you.
