   @Joshi I just don't care.

   Anatomically I'm a woman.

   I was born late in the Baby Boom (early 1960s) and commonly refer to all people as "guys."

   I've been called "dude" by a Gen X woman and "mami" by a Hispanic woman. I was once introduced to someone as my brother's brother, which puzzled but did not offend me.

   I've thought about using "it."

   The only gender word that ever offended me was when someone called me "sir."

   I've put that in my bio: Please don't call me "sir."

     "i wont interact if theres no pronouns in your profile" listen i wish everyone would do it too but please please please understand that there are people who are either uncomfortable with their pronouns and might not understand why yet, or might be in actual irl danger if they put the correct pronouns, but absolutely refuse to instruct others to use the wrong set.

     Bill repeated this.
