Facebook's new terms of service allow you to be as transphobic as you like, but you can't call someone a liar.
They have modelled them off the House of Commons.

This is a really poor decision on the part of Labour. Kishwer Falkner, a plant of the Tory Party originally, has worked to undermine human rights in the United Kingdom since was appointed chief of the EHRC - our main human rights and equality watchdog.

referring to terms like "undocumented immigrants" as "campus language" is a lazy way to oppose changes to language by dismissing them as elitist, without actually engaging. you don't need a degree to understand the difference between "illegal" and "undocumented" - that's not why you're "alienated"
There’s a “Dems use alienating campus language” discourse going on; I think it’s basically right. College-educated America — media, boardroom, Dems — does adopt language that other people don’t use and sounds odd to them.
Years ago, the AP replaced “illegal” with “undocumented immigrants.” (1/2)
