Are you talking about my response to infinity's post? I didnt realize promoting positive language changes is toxic idpol.

Pretty toxic telling a homeless person they're not homeless and to use a different word.

My post was in response to a discussion where infinity was explaining how they view homelessness to be less ethical than veganism. It was not meant to be in response to their own personal experience with homelessness. I apologize if my post came off as toxic, that was not my intention.

FWIW I am homeless too and I think the term is bogged down with negative connotations where the homeless are substandard to those that are housed.
