The moment Wall Street publishers start enforcing language standards and using peer pressure to force people to use their experts? And saying books should not be written without them? And you bet PDF sites that sell books that aren't required to use these experts will be the next target. Will books be required to be reviewed by these experts to be sold in walled gardens? With more costs, more barriers to entry, and less competition, the market leader benefits.
And I like gender-neutral language and the concept of safety tools, but even I see through this.
Let people do and write what they want. I am free to be me; you are free to be you.
This isn't about protecting anyone or anything - only protecting profit margins.
Don't walk away from those publishers.
Run.
