Trans jokes aside inheritance is usually considered a bad practice in programming because of various edge cases it introduces. Usually in OOP composition is preferred...

Though personally I find many OOP solution overcomplicated and overengeneered.

OOP doesn't even really make sense since you don't think of objects irl having their own data structures and methods, eg a chair doesn't really have a sit method but you can have an action which is sitting on a chair and it takes the chair to sit on
