MODERATORS
There have been efforts to change the "fecal" part of the wording, but it's largely been unsuccessful. I personally don't think it's the biggest problem to focus on. I'd rather try to educate people that healthy poop is not repugnant. They think it's gross because their own poop is unhealthy.
I mean... There's a saying that goes "shining a turd" for a reason. Even healthy poop is still poop. That's why people aren't usually clamoring to become a gastroenterologist when they grow up. It's likely a big factor as to why the gut microbiome wasn't really researched well / discovered until later compared to discoveries in other medical fields.
Trust me, they don't find poop repugnant because it's unhealthy, it's because it's poop. Even the healthy ones are waste products of the body.
