It seems that some people have preferred pronouns, most commonly they/them instead of she/her.

Not wishing to be anti-woke I thought I would try to locate the use of these pronouns. It is not as easy as I thought it would be as the individual wishes to be referred to them in conversation whether they are present or not.

I will find that difficult especially if I am in a group and I do not know the preferred pronouns of the people with whom I am talking.

It is so easy to offend. I’m so very good at that.

    So difficult. How about replacing all personal pronouns with ‘it’, and if a plural is required, maybe use ‘iteration’? Unless the use of a plural indicates pronoun stereotyping...

    I love people who put their preferred pronouns in their bios on Twitter. It makes it so much easier to know who to block without having to scroll through their stupid tweets. Sorry, channeling my alter ego Dick Hedd now.
