[QUOTE="Moral Orel, post: 74147888, member: 377019"] You accidentally didn't offend them by accidentally referring to their gender because you didn't know their biology. If you were to find out their biology, you would start offending them by using pronouns that align with their biology instead of their gender. If they feel bad when you do that, and it's no trouble to [I]not[/I] do that, why not just not do it? It isn't much of a "fix" if you're just saying what [I]you're[/I] going to do. You're suggesting what we should [I]all[/I] do, ya? So why should I care what their biology is? Why not just refer to their gender? Then for average blokes like us, our biology and gender are the same so we won't get offended, and for people who it [I]ain't[/I] the same, we don't offend them either. For folks that want me to use a new pronoun, I figure I could go one of two ways. Either I'll just use that pronoun like it's a proper name, or a nick-name, or I'll just use their proper name. I'm not put out by it, it isn't difficult, so why not find a way to not use the words that [I]are[/I] going to offend them? [/QUOTE]
