You know, now I'm slightly worried about using zie/zir pronouns for people whose gender is either irrelevant to the statement or I am intentionally anonymizing. I'm worried that I may use the terms inadvertantly to refer to someone whose preferred pronouns are they/their and it will look like I'm dismissing their pronoun choice in favor of the gender-neutral pronouns that I prefer. Life is complicated sometimes.

Pronouns are important and I very much prefer she/her because I had to fight so hard to have them.

As you say, complicated.

Well, to be fair how would you know ahead of time? If you give it a shot and somebody corrects you, at least you tried. I wouldn't fault you for it.

My philosophy is, call me anything you like, just don't call me late to dinner. :-)

p.s. I found you here on DW and added you!
