@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?

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.

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