why is this so hard for you? you use whatever info you have available, ie what you can see. such as my gorgeous long hair in my situation.


So chromosomes and penis aren't taken into consideration for determining if somebody is male or female?

I don't know that there is a way completely. There's merely gradation, and using "they" is certainly preferable to using "he" in such a situation.


Okay, so it's "preferable" relative to being outrightly hostile. But what we're discussing here is someone who was fired because they made known in advance that they weren't going to acquiesce by lying, and so were going for the least offensive position available to them (not only "degendering," but refusing to use a pronoun altogether). Do you personally feel this action taken by Stack Overflow was justified, and the correct action to take?

So your usage of pronouns is dependent on your perception of them and not their biology?


My perception of them reflects their biology about 99% of the time

the people that are pushing this narrative MUST realize that they aren't winning themselves any allies with this strategy

But misgendering or degendering someone requires conscious effort in many cases. If Blaire White were to rob you, you wouldn't call the police and say that a man just robbed you.

Pronouns aren't grounded in biology, but are more about mental shortcuts in conversation in most cases.

No, I disagree with the action taken by Stack Overflow.

Camouflage notwithstanding, people are pretty good at discerning at a glance.
