Not all nb people use they/them for example.  Also for everyone else - most people who use multiple pronouns prefer you use them interchangeably and mix it up unless they state they have a preference or state otherwise. Defaulting to ONLY USING she can still be potentially transphobic even if that's not your intent. Demi's pronouns are not SHE/HER. They are they/them AND she/her. Use both like I did in my previous post.  Example: "Wow, I'm proud of Demi for following their truth. I hope she's living her best life." Sorry but Iâm not doing this and asking people to do it is ridiculous. If neither of those pronouns fully work, come up with one that does.

Why can she choose both âtheyâ and âsheâ? maybe providing these words in a sentence may help me understand. Thanks! I guess people misgendering you all the time makes you « « « give up » » » your preferred pronouns in a way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now get ready for this in every thread "Actually it's 'they'" "Actually she said she goes by either she or they now" Do you feel him sir? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if English isn't my first language and I'm naturally more used to using 'they' when referring to 2 or more people. Still it amazes me how some people just assume you're discriminating just because... Also my comment got deleted with no explanation so reposting in case I deleted by mistake! Your wp wasn't for mistakenly using "her" 'cause I simply edit those to say "they" Your wp was for calling Demi "Themi" which is disrespectful and mocking her for her (then) preferred pronouns If you'd like to discuss further, feel free to make a Support thread. I don't think I meant to make those points permanent either so I'm knocking them off your profile You're stinky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
