I wonder what the motivation was. Anarchism is mentioned elsewhere, so if I wonder if that’s a motivating factor here. At any rate, I appreciate that people are trying their best to be respectful. Personally, I’d also prefer to use “she” if that’s alright with her (it?). This becomes confusing quickly when we’re also trying to use it abstractly to refer to arguments and concepts.
I totally understand wanting to be respectful, but respect goes both ways. She needs to respect the fact that her odd pronouns are literally breaking the English language for people who want to use them.
Have you considered that someone who chooses "it/its" as its pronouns is intentionally trying to break the English language with said choice? In this case, it is Swiss, and therefore it is likely not a native English speaker which could be a factor as well.

#295This guy is a (hobbyist?) security researcher who responsibly alerts companies of vulnerabilities. However are his actions of downloading the no fly list and offering to share with journalists legal? Or does that cross into overreach and criminal activity?
it isn't a guy and it uses it/its pronouns.
Guys doesn't refer to men anymore, it's now a neutral word that can refer to both genders.

That's a problem with the English language though. There's not a singular only version of "they" and there probably should be.
The singular only version of "they" is "they", just like the singular only version of "you" is "you". "You" was formerly plural, with "thou" as singular, but "thou" has since fallen into disuse.

Actually, also as an Australian: Australia is a country where you call your mates "cunt" and call cunts "mate".
Actually, also as an Australian: I'm pretty sure this is one of those things that's true in the Northern half* of the country that people think applies everywhere, like crocodiles and jellyfish that kill you. I've lived in SA and Vic all my life and all my friends would just be insulted if I called them cunt instead of mate. * "Northern Half" of course meaning above the Barassi Line and probably adding the NT, not th…
Depends on the circles of friends really. But yeah that one definitely isn't a country-wide rule if you plan to keep all your teeth

I have been told a few times that I am on the no fly list, so I avoid planes - that, and I am nearly 7 feet tall. Is my only way to discover if I am allowed on an airplane is to buy a ticket and get subsequently denied on the boarding gate/security? No FOIA request, or anything similar, to circumnavigate this? Thank you.
Yes this is insane. I’m a U.S. citizen and if I’m not allowed to fly because of some arbitrary national security measure then that measure had better be public information and known before I book a ticket. If my government has denied you the right to travel without telling you why I genuinely and sincerely apologize and take responsibility because it should not work like that and ideally I should be able to vote out…
Why does your citizenship status matter? The right to domestic travel within the United States is enjoyed equally by everyone within the US.

I came here to make the same comment. Also, I now know that .gay is a tld and I'm trying to figure out how to take advantage, registration isn't terribly cheap, but the only restrictions are ones that don't apply to any of my ideas.
Oh man. 1890s.gay would be a good one. [EDIT] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_Nineties
