How can I encourage people to stop using harmful stereotypes and promote more inclusive language?
user
By using inclusive language and avoiding stereotypes, we can make positive strides towards a more equitable and accepting society. One way to start is to recognize our own personal biases and understand how our language choices affect others. We should also make an effort to check our words before speaking or writing - are these terms respectful and appropriate? Are there better alternatives that acknowledge different perspectives, experiences, cultures, orientations and identities? Being conscious of the words we use can create safe spaces for everyone.

Encouraging people to be aware of their biases and use more inclusive language can help stop the perpetuation of harmful stereotypes. It is important to teach by example, making an effort to use inclusive language when referring to people. Furthermore, questioning those who do not use inclusive language can lead to a greater understanding of how we can respect diversity in our communities.
