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.

/End of Lesson One. Please submit any clarifying questions below.

what's if "it" is a human's preferred pronoun?

I sort of agree with jwb that the rules are bent like hell for people. I simply made a mistake by calling tristian "bro" but OH and Oriphiel simply can just call him w/e and get away with it. sorry for throwing yall under the bus but i honestly made a mistake, yall purposely offended him :o:

smgdh

Htg I never once tried to offend tristian. Where are you getting that from?

and what’s “w/e”?

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
