Unfortunately it changes " many" to " AMAB persony" as I couldn’t put a space after " man" in my replacement script, otherwise it would ignore " man." (and there is a 2000-character limit in the URL field of bookmarks so I couldn't get too picky) so it’s not perfect but it’s an improvement on bio-essentialist language. What I really need to do is create a regex for each search term, but for that, I think I need to rewrite it as a browser extension.

Here's a regex for man preceded by a space and followed by various punctuation:

\s(m)(a)(n)?(\s|.|,|;|!|\?)
