I didn't think of that but my missus is Lithuanian and they are grammatical gender. I can't imagine how much this must mess with their language although I doubt they even entertain this rubbish. Even their surname has 3 different ways of writing it. One for man, women and married.

If you had/will get/have had a time machine you could refer yourself as someone in the future. Hi Will.
As someone who's been part of the goth/metal culture for a very long time, I can say that they are exactly the same. The amount of slander, insults and persecution you get for being different and fake is off the map. I've had people insult me in the street, question me on public transport, people would come up to my ex and insult her or try and start fights THEN she or I would get angry... it's exactly the same. If people don't 'get' you or don't understand where you're coming from, they will invariably call you fake. It's just the same.

Nature abhors an oddity.You can claim that, doesn't mean you're right. How is a goth pretending to be something they're not?

I played an air combat game back in the early 90s called Aviator so I can understand where they are coming from there, but yeah ma'am and sir would be hypocritical.

Because people think you're pretending to be all dark and scary, when really it's about a lot more than that. A lot of goths project the sadness, depression and darkness they constantly feel inside themselves as an identity to give them strength and to be part of a likeminded community.
The very fact that these questions are coming up and the laughing emojis are appearing shows how it is misunderstood. But then that's nothing new, and I'm used to it.

I could identify as a she snail
Oh, so you're saying they're mentally ill? Maybe they are the same thing after all.

There's one that hangs around Whitchurch, she's the one that came up to me when I was having a smoke outside the pub and said, "This morning I woke up and felt like a man". Meaning she felt as if her sex had changed overnight.
Having replied "Well don't look at me, I am far too old for you and you are definitely not my type", she's kept well clear since, thank God. Just keeping her in makeup would be financially demanding, and it would like sleeping with a month old corpse.
I used to when I had a retail job.
There's one in Swindon's Old Town, or at least there used to be a few years ago. Gotta respect the commitment tbh.

Btw are you just allowed to just use someones name or nickname and thats it, or is that cheating. Someone suggested to avoid being fired etc they just read off numbers for each registered person in that organisation, or maybe endlessly use they in every instance is a simple cover all. I like that my bad grammar could be less noticeable
Those are nouns though or at least aren't being used as pronouns if greeting someone with "hello sir...".
They can be (perhaps improperly) used as pronouns, for example, in the third person; "sir gave me extra homework 'cos I was late". Or in the second person; "would sir like some more wine?... And some more for you too madam?"
Though to be fair anything gendered has the potential for hysterics these days...

No such thing snails are hermaphrodites, do you have both genitalia? Actually thats a neat solution no issues over gender identity whatsoever as everyone is the same as everyone else!

Posts authoritatively about pronouns. Doesn’t actually know what a pronoun is. The 21st century condition.
