  Even if it’s strictly sex, sex with a real human being is leagues different than sex with 40 lbs of heated silicone

    You do know in a significant number of languages in this world when gender is unknown the masculine form is used… Some languages, for example Spanish, would even use a masculine form for when the gender is know and a group includes both boys and girls. For example Tengo tres ninos… That sentence could mean I have three boys but it also could mean I have three kids of which some might be female.

    So stop trying to be proactive… You’re bad at it

      im not trying to be provocative im trying to be progressive

      this is english: we have gender neutral terms, which should for many reasons be used

      many people (including myself) find misgendering to be offensive, and many people (including myself) find complicity in the patriarchy offensive

      and also in those other languages people and organizations still often favour gender neutral language; in spanish the forms -e or -i or -x or -@ are somewhat common, i see signage using -x or -e, and spam texts sometimes use -@

      and also, why would you not adjust? saying “they” won’t hurt you

        Intentionally misgendering is offensive, but that’s not what happened here, in my opinion. There’s nothing in their profile so sure going neutral with they/them is probably a safer option, but defaulting to male pronouns (which traditionally are all encompassing) is also fine, IMO. If they had a preference that they cared about then they would specify it.

    They guessed right, and if there’s no info to go on, I’m okay with picking one and correcting course if required. I don’t know if being butt-obsessed is a male thing particularly, butt…
