[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People forget that most adults have multiple decades of using him/her for everything, even animals. If you don’t interact with nonbinary/trans people on the regular it is a very difficult thing to switch to and of course people will mess up. [/quote] This…especially when the person looks like a woman and/or has a traditionally feminine name. It’s really hard to remember that Allison prefers they. It’s slightly easier to remember when the person adopts a less mainstream name (which I’ve found to be the case with coworkers who identify as Queer: they embrace a certain vibe when it comes to clothing, haircuts, and names they invent and go by).
