Gender-Neutral Pronouns

[Jodi LeBlanc]

My colleague shared this article about pronouns and the author "rounded up some responses to the most common weird questions" they get about their pronouns.

Here's one example:

“You look like a boy/girl. Why use they instead of he/she?”

I look like me. That’s all there is to it. If someone else looks at me and decides I am something or another based on the clothes I’m wearing, or whether or not I’m wearing make up, that assumption is on them: it has nothing to do with who or what I actually am.
