Rename Endermen "Enderfolk"

I know mobs other than players are always non-binary, but, due to the name, endermen seem like they're supposed to only be male. Thus, I think that they should be renamed enderfolk.

    It may be due to its inspiration off "Slenderman" (hence a male). I also thought they could be named better in terms of MC's lack of gender consistency. However, another thought was if they're basically "ender+(hu)man", thus not necessarily male but merely humanoids.

    What, is calling them EnderMEN supposed to be offensive? That's dumbheaded. It's just like how we say men or mankind to refer to all people, regardless of gender. Besides, Endermen are such an iconic mob that have had the same name for so long (although they were originally called Farlanders) that changing it would just be weird. Additionally, "Enderfolk" just sounds wrong.

    This change seems really unnecessary and would remove the enderman's iconic name.

    We have a similar problem with witches and skeleton horsemen (I think they should be called "skeleton riders" because it sounds more menacing and it's genderneutral).
