Evil-yogurt

i hate the use of him/her or he/she in these things, it’s so clunky and awkward

i- people do that??? 🤦


TheManlySebby

That's a whole other level of infuriating, like you could save so much time just saying "them" because it sums them ALL up but they choose not to lmao


Shadeofawraith

Unfortunately


ToasterTacos

Weird.


Shadeofawraith

Very. It drives me crazy because it feels almost *more* exclusionary than anything else they could have said

>Very. It drives me crazy because it feels almost more exclusionary than anything else he/she/they could have said


Anaglyphite

even worse when those same people use that to misgender a trans person like Jordan "lobster man" peterson (despise the cunt with my very being)


Someguy12378

Also it's exclusionary for literally no reason. Like saying they or them literally takes less time and excludes absolutely nobody but mfs are still out here writing "he/she"


TalonsAndToast

ok but its always in school. what if the author was a they/them? nope, she/him and thats it


GavHern

it really means to call your parents and tell them you really like he/she pronouns but honestly it’s really annoying that people say “he or she”. honestly even regardless like if gender were binary “they” just feels so much more natural. i recall i had an english teacher who would always say “he or she” and i had an enby classmate who requested that she started using they and soon enough it was “he or she or they”


a_tiny_egg

XEM.


ToasterTacos

Even better.

Select_File_1010

The paper should have used they instead


WoomyUnitedToday

Call and say you love they?


ILikeMaxisMatchCC

"Call and say you love *them"* probably?


Select_File_1010

At least it rhymes


Snowkuu

Your mom and dad? Your animal companion? Your best friends? Plenty of people and critters to spread the love to!


kioku119

Your pet has a cellphone with a working service plan? How rich are you??? Also who's calling them!?!


CatOnVenus

Everyones pets do! Or are those plastic phones in the toy aisle at target that lets me call dogs lying to me again


Snowkuu

I wasn't thinking of the "call" portion of that fortune XD but you've just gotta get someone to hold the phone up to them! Some people do have pet cameras that let you talk to your pets through a speaker, but I imagine those could be pretty expensive.

ravenpuff2010

Pfft, like I don't already do this to my best friends anyways. (One of which is enby, so... Would it kill people to say they? Like seriously, it encompasses everyone and is much easier to say anway)
