im not trying to be provocative im trying to be progressive

this is english: we have gender neutral terms, which should for many reasons be used

many people (including myself) find misgendering to be offensive, and many people (including myself) find complicity in the patriarchy offensive

and also in those other languages people and organizations still often favour gender neutral language; in spanish the forms -e or -i or -x or -@ are somewhat common, i see signage using -x or -e, and spam texts sometimes use -@

and also, why would you not adjust? saying “they” won’t hurt you
