Yes, very well.
Yea, nah. Say what you want about X, but Meta is in a whole other league than X. In my communities it's monopolising to a large degree:
- finding housemates/sharehouses,
- buying/selling second-hand goods online,
- info on events,
- news-updates for community groups, and even
- shift swaps at work
amongs others. All essential services that Meta took over one by one.
X on the other hand is just a micro-blogging platform.
I'm just saying you're making a big deal out of nothing. Have a good night now.
- The Clinton emails were first released by the State Department under FOIA. (WikiLeaks were first to publish the different archives of the Podesta email leak and the DNC email leak.) Both WL and the Wall Street Journal each made the Clinton emails into a searchable database.
- WikiLeaks has never had to retract a single document or story.
again, gender-neutral wording like they/them don't say anything about gender or her own identity. 'They' does not refer to a third gender. I'm not demanding anything from her. You're the one who brought up using the correct pronouns. So I expect you to be familiar with English grammar.
I think your language-policing is ridiculous. You can't expect someone unfamiliar with a situation to be up-to-date with how to affirm someone's gender correctly. Gender-neutral language functions as a safe fall-back in such situations. You can rightfully expect people to not misgender people. You cannot be rightfully offended at people using gender-neutral language. The only person I'm making demands of currently is you, because you're making this discussion unnecessarily hostile.
Yea, they seem to have a pretty short fuse...
Also, how do you even know her preferred pronouns in English? Did you ask her?
yea, nah.
Edit: Using a word is not the same as refusing to use another word in its place.
I'm sorry but no. Using gender-neutral language does not describe gender; using 'they' isn't to misgender, it just leaves the gender unspecified.
You can correctly use 'they' for anyone. If they'd said 'he', now that would've been different...

I use Signal. It's the in thing in my circles.
The desktop version cannot be used independently; you still need to make and maintain an account on a smart phone. Also the desktop version uses crazy memory. It's a pos. I no longer use it. Also you're limited to 2 devices: one phone & one comp. I sync my xmpp chats between 3 or 4, depending.
