Text:

I think the use of one term for all individuals in all situations
is narrow, discriminatory and inappropriate

All true, and when refering to individuals we know it is possible
to use that word we both feel happy with. But here I think the
problem is that we do need words that we can use in a general sense
about the people we aim to work with and for, ie the users.
