Do you believe that language should remain unchanged, or that it should evolve only for reasons beyond conscious intention?

I’m not okay with evolving language intentionally out of a mistaken belief that minorities are so fragile that we need to change the way we talk.

Indeed.

I would argue that such intentional changes to language isn't "evolution" at all. Sure, language evolves, but not by some kind of edict.

It's not evolution - more like language eugenics.
