Question about word usage

Which is more offensive
Saying "Midget" or saying "Llittle person"
Little person sounds patronizing to me and Midget sounds dated but not patronizing, neither sound offensive but I saw someone write the "M word" instead of midget
.

What bugs me lately is this PC crap about calling everyone "they" or "them" instead of "him" or "her." I'm a writer and information is important.

@hunkalove “Everyone” has the right to choose their pronouns

@GJOFJ3 For themselves, sure, but not for everyone else.

Little people, little person is the currently approved verbiage

@GJOFJ3 True. If a man said his name is Charles, should someone insist on calling him Chuck?

I think there is a Little People association using Little People. I think Midget Is offensive.

I know one person who falls into this category, and he tells me the term "little person" is preferred in that community, so that is what I use.

I don't abide by "politically-correct" words.

Maybe they meant motherfucker?
“Squirt“ is another alternative.

Well idk they have "midget wresting competitions" here. So it's kinda weird to aay little person when they refer to themselves as midgets
