It's natural to make that assumption unless we're told otherwise 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't there an alternative like "zir" I believe? Someone correct me if I'm saying it wrong. I just have a hard time using they in sentences cuz I grammatically keep associating it with a plural for multiple ppl. If I read a sentence with "they" but it's not obvious right away they are talking about 1 person I frequently mistake the context as multiple individuals Zir would be so much less confusing 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Lukasson 297 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I‘ve stopped taking this pronoun thing too seriously. I usually don’t care about anyones gender identity. I try to be respectful but kind of avoid using pronouns usually and just filling in with the name of the person. 3 4 Link to post Share on other sites

I also often try to just use ppls names now as well to avoid a situation. More so with ppl I don't really know or just met 1 Link to post Share on other sites
