it's strange they would use them *when* directing people to your bio when your bio says she her haha

as someone who uses they, you're right. you've a right to use she/her as I've a right to they/them

where's the lettuce :
a lot of people saying "everyone uses they/them" miss that a lot of people ALSO do it to us to avoid recognizing us as our genders

I use they for people a lot even when I know their gender. In fact it’s pretty common. It might not be a personal attack.

Umm sometimes I use they/them for people even when i know their pronouns just because i see it as a universal pronoun is that an issue

Yeah it’s so weird seeing supposed trans allies suggest that intentionally using they/them for someone who doesn’t use them isn’t misgendering

some of these comments make me very sad. when a trans person says "don't call me that" it's always treated as a topic for debate.

honestly as a trans guy it hurt way more when my friend used they on me then when I get accidentally misgendered

I have tried to use gender-neutral terms most of the time but hadn't considered this negative impact. Thank you for helping me do better!

right? it literally takes 2 seconds to check someone's bio. That's literally the whole point of putting pronouns there!

My dad never uses my pronouns and just calls me by they/them because it’s “easier” and I really don’t like it :/

I'm sorry, I really need something safe to address everyone as, if I can't use gender neutral they I'm just gonna be calling everyone dude again.

It makes sense to say they/them when you don't know someones pronouns or seeking in general about "a person"

Dammed if you do dammed if you don’t. Somebody will always find something to cry about.

i understand your point, and you probably did it for shock value, but they isnt a gendered pronoun so you cant be misgendered with they/them

I think by definition it's not "misgendering" but that doesn't make it not disrespectful and transphobic.

you're definitely a woman; however, they / them pronouns are universal to all genders, including women. it's not just for nb people

Joshua Malfoy :
🤷🏼 Disagree. They is never misgendering. They is inclusive rather than exclusive. You're trying to make a big deal out of nothing. Take a seat, ma'a
