Personally I think they truncated it just to be shorter. I have no issue with them keeping it and adding on dreamers of all ages but honestly it seems to me that you’re more worried about having to give up some things than to just want to make space for more people.Why does "Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls" offend anyone? How about they say "Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls and dreamers of all ages. That would be totally inclusive and offend no one. It would cater to the small minorities while also keeping the large majority of purists happy. The problem is that the majority always has to bow to the minority, in the name of inclusion, even if that inclusion is against their deeply held religious or moral beliefs. Why can't the original phrase stay, while adding the caveat of dreamers of all ages to be inclusive to the small minority that find the original offensive.
It’s not a big loss to be called ladies and gentlemen boys and girls is it really? Does it hurt you personally somehow? Sometimes we have to realize that we’re going to have to occasionally just give up stuff and space to make space for people who haven’t been seen before. Because everyone deserves to be seen.
