Being Gendered Correctly

[Kimmy_Dee]

It says that generic he and they can both be used, so why link us to something that supports the use of generic he which is the whole reason you made this complaint thread?

For making the point that singular usage of They not only has precedence but is "increasingly accepted" in American English.

They're about as much of an English grammar official as Derek Zoolander's Center For Kids Who Can't Read Good.

The whole article has issues where both he and they are acceptable, you are just wanting us to ignore the parts of your reference you don't agree with.

OP you have to accept that a lot of people are idiots online.

Exhibit A:

Lol my bad. Sorry, man.

They won't ever get it. I say just announce you're a girl every time you enter a party. Since they find it to much of a problem to recognize anything feminine, why should they care if you want to announce your gender.

If they ask you why do you have to announce your gender, let them know. You're sick of being called a guy. I think if girls do this more often, maybe the problem will be fixed.

Or you can ignore anyone who keeps calling you he/him/dude/man even though your feminine name and character is right in front of them. Ignorant people should be ignored.
