So I peek into a publicly-shared Google document, and I see this:

On hover, these are named "Anonymous Coyote", "Anonymous Ibex", etc. |
Being a human exceptionalist, of the firm persuasion that coyotes and ibexes etc. are lower life forms that cannot e.g. use spreadsheets, this not-very-subtle push of
Google's transhumanist agenda leaves a nasty taste in my mouth.
Just as people are not mere "resources", people should not be labeled as animals involuntarily. This is a shared service and isn't an appropriate place for someone's creed to be imposed on another. Fix it, Google.
