    Sorry to all the Blakes, Dylans, Ashleys, Francises, Shannons, Frankies, Charlies, Rorys, Blairs, Leslies, Angels, Billies, Sams, Kellys, Danas, Harleys, Adins, Caseys, and all the other non-binary/gender neutral names that I can’t think of right now.

        Even for gender cishet people a Dylan, Casey or Sam might be a “he/him” or “she/her” and its just not obvious from the name.

            Don’t you think it’s more of a waste of time to throw a bitch fit about it?

            So?

            Does that mean all have to waste time with pronouns?

            Can think of only one time thought a female was a male from name. Was not a problem. The name was Noel

            Seems like the name argument is no argument at all

            Sounds good ma’am. Have a great one

            we, our, and I are all pronouns. Yes, we pretty much need to use pronouns.
