The word "tomato" is hurtful to me as it invokes vegetable stereotypes and memories of childhood dinnertime trauma associated with brussels sprouts and broccoli. I demand you begin using the term "conflated fruit" to identify this misnomered edible.
Come to think of it, "conflated fruit" is a good term for everything in the gender identity sexual deviance space.
How dare you call me a fruit! I identify as a vegetable!
And so it goes.
