A British University released a list of banned words yesterday. A list that would cause me to drop out of this university, had I attended.
Lecturers of Cardiff Metropolitan University were mainly banned from “gendered language” in a recent update, and says that “politically correct” alternatives should be used in order to “promote an atmosphere in which all students and staff feel valued”.
The rules are presented in the ‘Equal Opportunities Policy’, which warns disciplinary action will be taken if broken.

I find the words "human" and "humanity" to be offensive because they have "man" in it!

Stuff like this just makes me want to be a bigger a-hole. I wonder how long it will take until you can actually be thrown in jail just for not being nice to someone.

So now homosexual is a slur?

I don't agree with banning words, but I already overwhelmingly use the words in parentheses.

You sound triggered like the alt-right snowflake that you are.
I will pray for you.

Freakin' Britbongistan. Its this mentality that's leading to the decline of the western world.
