I think I'm more partial to the arguments I'm hearing from Carl Benjamin on The Lotus Eaters, about the danger of the Left's use of philosophical materialism, scientism, and weaponized "objectivity" to remove moral prescriptions from language.
They never really intended to craft a morally neutral language, just one that was neutral enough to subvert non-Leftist morays, then turn around and assert Leftist morays as an inherent part of our language.
As such, the anti-Left needs to impose moral prescriptions on the language we use. I like what the Press Secretary did here because he focused on being very specific, but he still could have imposed moral proscriptions.
"Puberty Blockers" instead of "Child Drug Abuse". "Mastectomy" instead of "Secondary Sexual Mutilation".

Morays are eels. Mores, pronounced the same way, was probably the word you wanted.
Fuck, why hasn't anyone told me this since highschool?
