Pronoun Backlash
#21
RE: Pronoun Backlash
I'm not really clear what the problem is. Like, maybe she doesn't care what pronouns people use when talking to/about her.

I, for instance, don't care what pronouns people use when referring to me. You could use he/she/it... anything. Nothing bothers me. Everything fits in some respect. "male" and "female" are too narrow of terms to describe anyone ultimately. 

If someone lists their pronouns, I see it as a courtesy to use whatever pronouns they list. 

But I don't feel duty-bound to list my own preferred pronouns in my profile (because I don't care). Plenty of my gay friends used "she" when referring to me (they did that with everybody) and it didn't bug me one bit. It was totally fine. I just rolled with it.

Maybe this actress person feels the same way (shrug).

Is there something I'm not getting?
