So you specifically explain that Jayr identifies as non-binary and yet you keep referring to them as ‘him’. Unprofessional and disrespectful.
What is the proper way to refer to he/she? Should i refer to he/she as “it” then if i can’t refer to he/she as he/she. Of course not.
Gender is a fundamental biological property of the human race, we shouldn’t deny it exists for the purposes of over the top political correctness. To be respectful however i’ll gladly refer to someone however they like, its just difficult and i don’t know how to do it without using words like “he” or”she”.
According to wikipeadia he was born in the phillipines?
It’s in the article.
they use the pronouns “they/them” instead of “he/him”.
I do not understand the terms very well. Does Jayr have male of female parts?
Is this individual a biological male or a biological female? I don’t care about identity.
The actor, according to IMDB, refers to himself by the pronouns he/him, so it’s not disrespectful to honor his desire.
Honestly, I don’t understand the obsession with gender shown here alongside a scolding about it. Why don’t the people who manage this site simply announce that references to gender about all subjects will be handled one simple way and then stick to it? So much fuss.
