I don't disagree, Andrew, but i had initially referred to her as an actor, Russell was having a go about equal rights. Where do you draw the line? On Sat, Nov 22, 2014 at 6:54 PM, Andrew McGlashan < andrew.mcglashan@affinityvision.com.au> wrote:

This is my response to Russell which was lost when the LUV server was down. That's death threats against a 5yo actress.
Actor/Actress. Who's being sexist now?
That's just word non-sense.
A male person whom acts is an actor and a female person is a an actress; just because one is used interchangeably [in these /special/ times] doesn't mean that it is /right/ ... I've always liked the idea that a girl is a girl and a boy is a boy and that extends for males/females in adulthood.
Other gender neutral terms are equally offensive to me when there is a perfectly good gender version that doesn't need to be avoided.
