It's like how transphobic tendencies in the Olympics recently led to the ban of some cis women for how their bodies are.
    Asmon - "If you reread my response to you, I didn't say it was a political statement. Usually I refer to people as they or the gender they're presenting, so I've never really had that problem before (and I haven't had any complaints either)"

    Asmon is socially awkward as hell from I can tell (I don't regularly watch his streams but I have looked at him recently). He also doesn't intentionally misgender though from what I can tell. Was a mistake by him to make that comment though he probably won't admit it.

    The part you clipped isn't even in reference to anything actually said, but I understand that you must be very angry. Despite already curating you out of my space, I'm going to take this post with a grain of salt and say: This is an understandable response. However, pronouns in bio are a way for people to present their gender. I'm non-binary but appear male; however, my pronouns are not he/him. He'd get it right by defaulting to they, but that's a coincidence, and not the right approach. It was a mistake for him to make that comment and I would hope that he would be able to admit that he made a mistake rather than avoid the situation altogether. It doesn't paint a good picture of him to do so.

    It was part of the conversation you were referreing to. I linked the whole conversation where someone with pronouns in her bio then challenged his position.

    They is the correct non-gender singular pronoun. It's starting to be recognised by style manuals as the correct way to default but yes he was also wrong to say what he did. He won't admit it though I'm guessing.
