--- Quote from: Deus Ex on August 01, 2017, 04:12:17 PM ---It's grammatically correct but it sounds stupid as stuff when referring to someone who is clearly either a man or a woman since we have already have pronouns for those two things and there's no need to refer to them as "they" when you can obviously see they're a he or a she --- End quote --- can you tell for this one? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/238914176066650114/342037984461324288/5LZgpUg.png |

I decided to skip his video because I didn't want to give him the views and instead went over to the Vice doc which actually had production value. Holy stuff this is like an acid trip. I almost screamed several times |

If she asked me to refer to her as "they" I'd refuse, and if she clarified that she's really an extremely effeminate male I would concede and refer to him as such. Not really confusing and not that complicated if you ask me. |
