this stems from another conversation on this site.
a commenter used the pronoun "they" because they didn't know the gender. Commenter could have looked at an inactives users profile to see the pronouns were she/her, but they didn't.
So the question is: is it wrong to use pronoun "they" when you simply don't know or needed to know the gender? I was told that "liberals" use it aggressively/offensively to trans people, but most liberals i know aren't smart enough to know about pronouns and how to use them properly.
I've been using "they" to admit gender ignorance all the fuckin time so im just trying to see if im wrong or not. Because ive never heard of this before. and i thought this site had told me everything by now lol
edit: thank you all for the comments. ill certainly try to remember to check pronouns of inactive accounts before i talk about them, but we need to be able to debate from a reasonable position and jumping to "HOW DARE YOU SAY THEY YOU LIB" isn't going to do shit. Lenin created schools to educate workers, Hexbear is our school. and i fucking love this school.
This thread is so disingenous, it's unbelievable. It's entire orgin is based on the fact that the OP came to the defense of someone who misgendered TC69 and this thread is just some weird backdoor to bash her. It's really petty.
They've been writing things similar to this sentence over the course of 2 threads and it's such nonsense. It paints a completely inaccurate picture of the site and the situation.
Sarcastic responses like this just prove what I'm saying is true.
It's not like they're going to respond to it either, they blocked me lol
This is the correct summary of events. The kind TC69 would have banned OP.
