I am not taking sides in this discussion, but as a non-native English speaker I can assure you that the term was not confusing to me :-)

Agreed. I don’t mind the term, but it also sounds emotionless to me, like corporate speech. Something I’d expect in a press release.

I’m not a native speaker.

Yeah it's just internet people trying to coin terms then gaslighting those who don't adopt.

No one is gaslighting anyone, except maybe the folks who pretend language never changes. No one complained about the use of "parent". The folks who started the argument complained about "child raiser". The problem here are the "internet people" who pick pointless fights about the motives behind anyone who does anything differently than they would have done.
