I get that saying "there is only male and female" is probably incorrect. I'm not a scientist so I just can't argue about it.0 -
Gern Blansten said:I apologize if that offended you, truly. I think it is ridiculous in the sense that no one could possibly know what pronoun someone wants to be referred to as when we don't have it tattooed on our foreheads or wear some sort of sign/tag.0

ecdanc said:Ask?
Asking someone what their pronoun is makes no sense. If I need to ask you in order for someone to avoid being offended then you need to just announce occasionally so that everyone knows.Remember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)

I would think it might come off as rude if you asked?
or is the wrong pronoun more egregious?
or is it different case for different people?0 -

I think remaining open minded and being willing to listen to others preferences and experiences (aka, just being a decent person who cares about more than yourself) would alleviate negative connotations.It's a hopeless situation...0 -
