I prefer to use gender neutrual terms a lot, like, ik that sounds woke as hell to some people, but I like refuring to groups as people, and I use plural "they/them/theirs" a lot. sometime I just refer to a group by their species, aka say thing something like "what the ∱uck are you humans doing?!?" I find it annoying when people forget that words like people or they aren't inhearantly nonbinary and can be used to describe a collective of people. I think it's mostly republicans who get mad or assume i'm calling everyone nonbinary, they are the same people who forget that pronouns are an essential part of the English language and they say shit like "i'm a real man. I don't need them woke αss he/him/his pronouns" it's like, istg people who say that deadass don't understand you can be cis and straight and use pronouns, they are for everyone and aren't inherently LGBTQ at all, and saying for example "magic the gathering fans, they collect playing cards" is using plural they and sure, I could be mentioning some nonbinary people when I say that, but i'm talking about women too for example. no hate to nonbinary people ofc, this gripe isn't their fault, it's literally just people who are obsessed with genering literally everything and they don't remember how the English languge works =-= and so I say to those HUMANS, (I use humans in particular when i'm upset) learn how the English language works, and if you still don't wanna be referred to as any pronouns, ask people to just use your name and exclude you from being mentioned in a group context.
