Legalese

So we are in the midst of doing a project for a company about living with a bleeding disorder.

Only "they" don't want us to say Bleeding Disorder, we are supposed to only say Hemophilia.

Except this project will be shared with a very large audience of people who live with and treat people with a wide range of bleeding disorders, not just hemophilia.

Which makes me frustrated because my goal in participating in educational pieces is that as an educator and parent, I want everyone to benefit. We should be inclusive rather than exclusive. When someone tells me I can or can't phrase someting a certain way it makes me more adamant about doing so.
