Antimuslimists are almost always racists too. * Antitransgenderist: Someone who oppresses or supports the oppression of transgender people. * Child: Someone twelve years of age or less. Calling adolescents and teenagers children is condescending. * Disloyalty program: A rewards-based marketing strategy which offers discounts in exchange for sacrificing one's purchasing privacy. Disloyalty programs unfairly reduce the anonymity of every other shopper who isn't signed up. * Global heating: A less neutral-sounding term for climate change which better conveys the severity of the crisis. * Hypocrite: Someone with blatant disregard for the alignment of their words and actions, as opposed to someone who imperfectly adheres to their own principles.
