  • Oh that’s crummy, I thought FlyingSquid was better than that.

    Edit: I guess post is locked or deleted so I can’t reply to clarifying comments- here’s my reply:

    It’s obvious to me now that drag is problematic. But I am confused why if someone uses she/they or he/they, it isn’t okay to use they. Because that person has indicated it as a preference?

    I do know that some people use they/them as intentional self-othering if they aren’t feeling well about their transition, but we can’t know that for every person. I personally, if I see a/b pronoun preferences, assume and use a as the primary preferred pronoun, and b as a secondary, assuming they do want to go by that pronoun sometimes but not all the times.

    So yeah, I am still a tad confused how using they from she/they preference is perceived as misgendering when it seems to clearly not be. There must be missing context.
