Julia Serano on the "Activist Language Merry-Go-Round":
"[It] does not stop when the marginalized group finally finds 'all the perfect words'…
"Stigma is the engine that keeps the Activist Language Merry-Go-Round in perpetual motion…These negative meanings and the social structures that propagate them run deep and remain largely out of reach. One of the few areas in our lives in which we can exert a modicum of control is through language: the words we [embrace/discard/tolerate/not tolerate]."

people can be more or less skilled at particular types of reasoning or analytical frameworks, they can have more or less knowledge about a topic, and they can be more or less willing to change their mind in the face of new evidence or logical errors. people can have cognitive differences that make those easier or harder.
but people are not more or less intelligent. don't criticize people by appealing to a concept of generalized intelligence, it's just inaccurate (in addition to being ableist)
