Music Banter - Your Day

@Mindy, so to answer your question, yes you can refer to Tristan by their name. No one is suggesting you don't use their name. But hopefully I've helped make it a little more clear about what we're talking about when we're talking about pronouns. If you don't use Tristan's name, you should use the pronouns they, them, or theirs, because that is their preference.

It's okay. Good game.

thanks for the explanation.

No prob. I don't think you're being intentionally malicious or contradictory, but in 2020 respecting preferred pronouns is an important thing to have a grasp on, lest you be deemed transphobic. :basketbal

If Dr. Gregory House didn't care about pronouns, nobody should care about pronouns. :clap:

You didn't. Pretty sure mindy is referring to when you acknowledged Tristan as something or other without meaning anything, then they was like "not cool" thinking that you were aware of the discussion that just had happened in another thread, and then you were like oh **** my bad.
