If that is solely the reasoning behind your desire to change the word, then I
totally agree with you.  But as I have said, the impression I was given is
that you were changing the word because it insulted and/or demeaned your and
other's gender.  If this is the reason behind the manipulation, then I
disagree, for this strengthens the connection to the personal self (the ego),
and severs the connection to the universal self (the atman).  Your main goal,
as I understand it, is to help humanity to "ascend" spiritually and/or become
"enlightened".  If this manipulation of words is for the purpose of appeasing
the personal self's dissatisfaction, humanity's path to spiritual ascension
will be hindered rather than helped.
