Y’all.
Could you give this drink to the person of unknown gender over there? Y’all seems to have finished y’all’s previous drink and we want to keep everyone happy!
G’huck
I just call everyone dude.
“Hey, dude.”
“Wassup, dude?”
“My dudes!”
“Dude’s crazy!”
There’s people who don’t like dude being used as unisex
Can’t help people who take offence when none is given. People need to stop taking what isn’t theirs.
People need to stop taking what isn’t theirs.
I’m going to be referring to people taking offense to things like that or being offended for another group of people as “stealing offense” now.
It’s such a great way to put it too.
Why is your name so extra?
Because I’m dope as shit. 😎
For sure the only convincing argument is when they asked if I fuck dudes… that made me think haha
Well, those dudes suck.
Those people should stay in their homes and off the internet, so no one has to see them or speak to them.
Or, y’know, if someone asks me not to call em dude, I just do my best not to. It’s a bit simpler
They aren’t dudes.
Nobody’s asking the elephants how they feel about it
This is how the neutral gender in latin, got absorbed into the male gender in most romance languages.
Doesnt German have a gender neutral form just in case you can’t remember what imaginary sex organs “Pizza” has?
My pizza has whatever kind if imaginary sex organs I want, thank you very much.
Some people have never seen Good Burger and it shows
I’m 100% down for normalizing ‘it’
I see you have an MBA.

Gendered pronouns in most sentences are a waste and often lead to a false ascertainment. While I don’t use ‘it’ for everyone, I would love to get used to it.
This is why the universal language should be Indonesian. No gendered words, no pronouns, heck there’s even no tenses. By the way, you also pronounce the words the way it was written like Latin so there’s no confusion on how to pronounce the words. The grammar is also straightforward enough you can just grab a dictionary and start speaking coherent Indonesian.
After trying to learn Portuguese this sounds like heaven.
While I don’t care about the gender crap (use what ever), I appreciate having a different pronoun for people or conscious things vs objects of any kind. They/them still holds info over it/that.
I admit I am a poisoned well, though. I was taught ‘it’ is outright disrespectful. Even before I knew LGBTQ+ anything, so it implicitly doesn’t apply to people, IMO.
Roses are red,
violets are blue.
Singular they
predates singular you.
Serial killers refer to people as “it” already. They are the trend setters!

I isn’t gendered already…
Dwight D. Schrute: Perhaps y’all should just learn Finnish. No gender pronouns.
I suddenly want to move to Sweden. Or just anywhere we don’t need to have arguments about minor language aspects constantly.
Sweden’s primary language is Swedish, which does have gendered pronouns.
they have hen
which nobody uses
Just 90 ways to say “with”
Wiz wit is non-optional in Finland, but there are 90 different ways to have wiz wit it.
Nice.
Refer to people as “it” if you want to sound like a serial killer. “It puts the lotion on its skin…”
But what if you just want to know what it’s got in its filthy pocketses, precious?
Then you have the Japanese that just refer to everyone by name and only use pronouns when you don’t know the person’s name
Learn turkish. We only have one pronoun (two if you count the plural). Also, no gender in job titles (or anything else).
Or most Austronesian languages
When a baby is born they say “its a boy” for example.
Or at any age if the gender is being revealed. “Is that a man or a woman?” “It’s a man.”
“Ecce homo!”
My vote is with for them/they.
i vote for “it” makes it unified for everything, ties it neatly up.
It/that.
What about “that” or even “that thing” when you want to be fancy.
My pronouns are that/it.
Me with a bad case of dwarf brain where everyone is he/him unless obvious or told otherwise
Jokes aside, they/them is fucking convinient and I use it all the time in english, I wish German had a equivalent!
i use entity
But that’s a noun…
meh whatever
My pronouns are He, He, He.
