Thanks for opening this issue :)
Hmm, it doesn't check for slangs/abbreviations/leetspeak We had a discussion with the maintainer of alexjs on an issue similar to this, and they recommended not using alexjs for this use-case, and instead make our own retext plugin, so that we can factor for leetspeak and abbreviations. (might be something we can look into in the near future, since using the custom matching would eventually become unmaintainable, or slightly extensive)
In this case, however, sis
might not often be used in general conversation as an "assumption". In most cases, people might use sis
to refer to their actual sister. This isn't a particular issue from an inclusivity perspective...
(though, the same isn't true for sister
, since people sometimes use that word to address each other...). But, I guess we can add sis to the flag list... Thoughts?
@Vyvy-vi
There's no way the bot could understand the context of the word used. When I use Brother
to address my sibling who actually identifies himself as a male the bot would give me a warning. This helps us create an inclusive environment for people who identify themselves as non-binary.

IMO sis can be used in general conversation as an assumption. We should block that.
Hmm true... It could be used 🤔 (much like the usage of "bro")
agree with @shreemaan-abhishek
I think by all means, if we are preventing the usage of bro , we should consider not using sis as well for fairness purposes.
Can I work on this issue?
Sure, go on ahead
