   I've noticed that people of my generation or later will sometimes speak of a cis person of known gender as 'they' in casual conversation. Idk what that's about.

     I use "they" by default for everyone, unless I know they prefer other pronouns.

     I'm a cis person of known gender myself.

     I had just been assuming you were nonbinary until these conversations today, Chicken! Wonder how many other cis people I know who prefer they pronouns? There’s got to be some more.

     Mostly I just don't mention my gender unless I think it's relevant.

     It seems pretty relevant to discussions of a sense of inherent gender, and to cis people using they pronouns, so. 😊
