bro my teacher made me soooooo mad the other day goddd n i need to rant
ok so we were in class all talking about like customer service and how you’re not supposed to talk about religion and gender/sexuality to clients cuz you could offend someone
and i was agreeing with her up until she told us all about this one student. she was like “i had this girl in my class, *she* wanted to be called *they*.” and in my head im like ‘so why r you calling them she rnnn??’
anyways she then said she had a hard time using the correct pronouns bc “she’s only one person, how can i call her ‘*they*’ when it’s just her,”
don’t even get me started bruh like I’d been internally debating asking ppl to refer to me by they/them pronouns but that’s totally thrown me off and just made me mad bc why would you say something like that??? calling someone ‘they’ even when it’s just one person is grammatically correct!!!!! it’s not wrong!!!!
literally i was seething and had to look at the floor and try to calm down. like is it really that hard to respect people? like yeah i get it can be a bit confusing sometimes but just be nice!! smh this is why i tell ppl i don’t mind what pronouns they use bc people behave like this when someone wants to be called they or them
