"War Criminal" is too reductionist. The correct phrase is "people who commit war crimes"

Just learned from Christoph Boesecke that we say “Late diagnosis” not “Late presenting” bc the latter implies the person did something wrong & bc their late diagnosis has nothing to do w their presentation.

Love #PeopleFirstLanguage & thoughtfulness in all forms!
