No one disagrees with their main point: that "they" is fine when you don't know the person's gender, not even the person they incorrectly thought they were disagreeing with in the comment that got them banned

I really feel like the old fight is over. I openly walked hand in hand with my boyfriend in 1996 in Sydney and didn't even get strange looks let alone shouting or hitting

Boys who acted gay in my all boys high school in the 90s did get bullied for acting gay about as much as I got bullied for having the wrong accent, so pretty bad.

I think it's fair for the youth today to try and improve less significant issues when they feel safe, and I don't think I have seen people told off for using they/them/themself when they don't know someone's pronouns because they have never met before

It's also the trans people who are getting overt threats from the US government more so than gays, they also rely on hormone therapy and government could deny that usage, driving them to black market hormones and a lot of suicides

Your grammar in the first sentence is a bit odd.

I would say "even if the mod was wrong" or in the subjunctive mood "even were the mod wrong" but subjunctive suggests you think they weren't wrong and are presenting a counterfactual. Did you start with plural "mods"? That would use were rather was.

use "Ms or Mrs"

1. It was Miss for unmarried women before Ms was coined and popularised for "none of your business whether I'm married or not" so Ms was acceptable regardless
2. Doesn't Mrs look like it's missing a possessive apostrophe, a Mr's woman?

And your main point, degender the male pronouns, it wouldn't work. "Man" used to mean people, male men and female men and child men – boys and girls – had different words, some of which are still around. That's why people say there's nothing gendered in "chairman" (which 50 years ago was logically equal to "chairperson", unless you count other species as people).

It's a safe question to ask, if they don't like it they won't answer. A person's language is hardly ever identifying

Most of the games I play there are no stat differences between genders - Minecraft is unique among them in having two shapes to choose from with different hitboxes, but Minecraft has no gender except what the players bring in

So no bonus or penalty for choosing one way or other

BG3 though, as a game with a dress up component, took so long to get a dress, everyone seems to wear trousers and shirt

I can't say I have had that problem. I think you need to put force behind your nails to scratch it, my nails aren't kept short either

I think it might be the latter. I watched it for half an hour while JS was not in the lead, so I don't think it's automatic

Rules often allow cyclists to go either way on one way streets

If it's folded while in your pocket or bag, why do you need hardness? Do you plan on folding a phone with sand on the screen?

On that note, I don't think I'll take my folding phone to the beach on my upcoming holiday

The ASD deleted the data, obviously after having gained access to the "bulletproof" hosting server

They also said they escalated through the hosting provider's network and removed other stolen data

And they got the people responsible on Interpol's wanted list

Luckily we now have populations that eat only animal sourced food and populations who only eat plant foods

It'd be really good to get a prospective study comparing those groups, but in the last 20 years that there have been both of those, no one has compared either to the other. Both have been found to be better than the standard American diet, but just about anything is

I think the problem is there's religious need behind the effort to make meat look dangerous so more people go vegetarian, but there's no organisation behind the meat eaters
