In our recently submitted grants we had to change “traumatic brain injury” to “concussive brain injury” and “male and female mice” to “male and non-male mice” because traumatic and female are now verboten words that can get our grants killed. It’s insanity.

I think the difference is that those are reasonable and come from within the community of use. Even if a loud minority acted up for a few days.

The examples in the post are just silly and are forced onto the community of use by political overlords.
