:eek:
Kudos withdrawn. It appears that the non-offer of Twizzlers was not an act of grace, but of whim. :mad:
I certainly hope a lot of you feel really proud of yourselves, what a classy bunch you are.
It? IT?
Bunch of fucking eight year olds.
Yes. “It”. All Stream needs to do is state a preference* because I’m not going to play the “If I’m a man, you’ve insulted me with THIS posting, but if I’m a woman, you’ve insulted me with THAT posting” game it likes to play. Just say “Please refer to me as a man (or woman–pick one)” and at least I personally will comply.
PS–does this mean I get no kudos? 
*At this point, I no longer care about it’s actual gender, just it’s pronoun preference.
At this point you no longer care because its a mod sanctioned pile on. Just admit it.
It’s not Fenris’s fault that English lacks a gender neutral third person pronoun that doesn’t carry strong overtones of objectification.
Probably.
Oooh! Attack of the rhetorical questions. Tell ya what. If you just admit that you’ve finally stopped beating your wife, I’ll consider responding.
Seriously, why do you care? Carol doesn’t or it would state a preference.* It just wants to go on playing the fence to double it’s chance of pretending to be offended. To simply state “Use a female pronoun to refer to me” wouldn’t reveal anything about it’s actual, sooper-sekrit gender, but would put a stop to the “Man-hands is hate-speech!” type game it plays.
*Again, note that I’ve given up on it admitting what it’s true gender is.
Actually, it is my fault. There was that one time when I had a bottle of 20 year old port and fell asleep in that one time mach…but I can say no more.
I’m also responsible for “Holy Schnickies!”, “Gag me with a spoon” and (I really, REALLY apologize for this one) the whole “I like Wendy’s hamburgers…NOT!” routine. :: hangs head in shame ::
I think this thread has jumped off the rails and over the snark.
Bottom line: Kudos, Gfactor. Or not.
This is closed.

Miller, the word you’re looking for is a contraction of “he or she; it.” Just remove the "e"s and squish it together: h’orsh’it.
