[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter goes by she/they pronouns, as do almost all of her friends. I asked her why, as she does very typical teen girl things (think hair, prom dress shopping, nails and jewelry. No mistake outwardly she is a girl). She said she doesn’t want to be labeled. I’m fine with that answer, and I kind of like it. My friend says that she/they is code for lesbian. Any thoughts on that? [/quote]

I think your friend is an idiot. People who use they/them or other gender nonconforming pronouns might also be more attracted to varied genders than someone who rigidly insists he/she are the only acceptable pronouns, but that's likely because they're openly accepting and supportive of the LGBTQ community. Correlation rather than causation. Also, a girl who dates a girl isn't necessarily a lesbian, so just knowing someone who goes by they dated a girl at some point doesn't prove your friend's point. I'd also like to take a moment to once again point out that gender and sexuality are different, so one's pronouns do not determine who they are attracted to. Also, while I'm on a tangent, I'll also point out that someone who is in a monogamous relationship with someone can still be bi/pan/other. When a bisexual woman marries a man, it doesn't mean she stops being attracted to women, it means she committed to one person so she doesn't act on those attractions to other people (sort of like how heterosexual women can still be attracted to guys even when they get married to a man).[/quote]
