It's time to abandon the cargo cult metaphor

Of course not, but the language police don't care about disabled people.

These are the same people who publish "inclusive language guides" with garbage like "don't use the term Brainwave because it's dehumanizing to people with intellectual disabilities".

It's an entire R&D field dedicated to finding new and creative ways to be offended.

Ah, so when you said "they" your pronoun didn't match your antecedent. Makes sense considering no one on this site seems to know what a pronoun even is anymore.

I was never taught English grammar and have no clue what an antecedent is, nor any clue how to make a pronoun match it.
