    for someone who can speak a language that lacks gendered pronouns, this “hysteria” over he/she/they is ridiculous!

      Well on the contrary you should understand it more. A gendered pronoun carries an idea of gender, and having a genderless pronoun frees the sentence of this gender assumption. Nothing very hard to understand.

        that’s what i thought i meant but thanks for the lesson I’ve never needed

        even your comment is, for me, coming from that ridiculous tension
