50 years ago, it was acceptable, even humerous to use racist, disabilty, mental health, homosexual terms because it was the done thing, at that time.
65 years ago, any males on the street in the daytime were suspected of being unemployed.
Parents no longer referred to as mum & dad in school.

When I used to take school letters home for signing - like trips, it always said “parent / legal guardian”
I think you are trying to make something that isn’t there

My mum come to help at school a few afternoons a week in my class sometimes.
Mrs Mcdonald said I had to address my mum as Mrs Bod.
Never did I call my mum Mrs Bod. It was Mum.
Her husband also worked at the school. She always called him Ronald and Not by his surname..
Bloody snowflake Mc flurry

Maybe they thought such an ugly child would have parents who hung around after the birth.
That has absolutely no relevance to my point. I can't be bothered to start typing why because you're one of those forum members where things just go round and round and round.
It has as much revalance as your post, and I was almost agreeing with you, except for your last sentence.
And as you can't think of a reason why you consider my post irrelvant to yours, allow me to explain to you, so then you'll know how and why it was relevant
I was showing in more detail how things can change in 50 years, althougn your mother, father, brother, sister, etc details are a bit far fetched.
But to come to the point of the revelance: your last point was very wrong.
I mentioned some details of the changes, e..g. micky taking based on disability words. About 24% of UK is living witha disability of some sort,
I think you'll agree that's a tad more than <1%.
Homosexuality is over 3% of those declaring themselves gay. Again that's a fair bit more than <1%.
Ethnicity: About 18% of UK population is non-white.
And these are just a few of the categories that were previously abused, as in, it was acceptable 50 years ago.
So without a doubt your argument of trying to appease less than 1% of the population is ludicrous, misrepresentative and wildly inaccurate.
You must have some other very minor change in mind that has occured over the last 50 years.
It was legal guardian when I was a sprog too.

Not
It was legal guardian when I was a sprog too.
Or
Was the words used.
It’s the second week of the new school @conny, how do you expect teachers to know all the kids names yet, let alone their circumstances at home?
Where my other half teaches, most of the class don’t have a mum and dad in their lives. Some have neither.
Primary carer term would be used if the teacher didn’t know the situation, but using mum or dad or other isn’t banned if they know who’s who.
Seems a really odd thing to get offended about mate.

I don't know what was wrong with Legal Guardian. Who thinks "we need a new word(s)"
If the nanny takes the kids to school, thye're not the legal guardian. But they are the care givers.

This is as much Connys point. Really why would you not call them mum & dad if they are your mum and dad.?

If I say my Dad is tye legal guardian for that day then he is the legal Guardian for thst day. He's not a Giver.
