Blatantly, deliberately, viciously misgendering me—I gave them half a pass the first time because they couldn't have known I'm not a he that time, but once they said they used 'he' because it's the gender-neutral—and talking as though they're the reasonable one—

*screams*

Ayup. Strength to you. <3

Thanks.

Also, irritated because "Do You Hear What I Hear?" is a few decades too recent to be public domain. I want to steal the repeated lines from that song to make poetry about this with. ([insert sentence with gender-neutral 'he']. I hear that I am not allowed to be a [the subject of that sentence]. Do you hear what I hear?) Oh well; at least I'm still allowed at the title, since those aren't copyrightable.

Apparently this poem has three speakers. I don't want to use dialogue tags. Bold italic and plaintext, or italic plaintext and blockquote, will probably convey my meaning, but ebook formatting and screenreader accessibility. Gah.

Grah!

You're awesome and those people are jerks. >:(

Good to hear. Singular 'they', though. At least at the moment.

Someone needs a quick rundown on the differences of gender-default vs gender-neutral, and how "he" may be the former but it's really not the latter. /sigh.

It's stuff like this that's making me try to default to gender-neutral until/unless informed otherwise, tbh: I can't know who will thank me for it! <3 (Also here have cute bunny icon. :D)
