neurovore's lack of sex pronoun
« on: October 27, 2007, 10:18:59 PM »
More than one thread has been derailed because of people going in circles about neurovore's wishing to not be referred to by either english sexual pronoun. While I'm not a "DON'T DERAIL" nazi by ANY stretch of the imagination, neurovore shouldn't have to keep going on the defensive over this.

This is the internet, folks. If neurovore doesn't want to reveal what sex the poster is, neurovore has that right, IMHO.

Quote
If singular "they" was good enough for Chaucer and Shakespeare, it would be really excessively egotistical of me not to find it acceptable.
-neurovore, more than once.

This shouldn't be an issue. Please respect their wishes.
