“His”
Comment on Anon gets rid of crackheads
Dasus@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoI natively speak a language which doesn’t differentiate gender in any way, and “guy” is pretty gender-neutral to begin with.
So maybe consider that comment again.

I don’t care about your comment, I was just pointing out what they had a problem with
Madison420@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
And they told you what they have a problem with, what’s the issue?

Dude would it really be that hard for you to edit your comment instead of whatever this is?
Dasus@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Oh it’s not about this being hard.
It’s about me saying I literally did not notice as I do not see gender in words like you do.
I admit that when using English I notice it more when it’s a feminine pronoun than when it’s a masculine one.
The point I’m making is that I did not misgender anyone. If anything, I disgendered English.
So no. I’m not going to admit to misgendering someone, when I most certainly don’t do that on purpose. What I might do is not read the username of a person I’m replying to. As I prefer responding to the message, not the person.
It’s not my fault English isn’t gender neutral when I am. I naturally speak and think in a way that does not account for gender. Would you like for me to start replacing that with archaic gender stereotypes?

No you didn’t, masculine is still a gender. I’m totally willing to believe that this was an innocent mistake to begin with but by tripling down on it like this you’re just being a dick.
You understand that English does have gender neutral pronouns, right? “His” just isn’t one of them. At any rate, given that Rose has her pronouns in her display name there’s no need to use neutral language anyway.

Calm down guy, it funny even seem like the person you’re talking about took offense with it. Why claim their outage for your own?
Dasus@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Name a gender-neutral singular pronoun from English that isn’t “it”.

Do you have to run around taking offense on other’s behalf?
