| Nov 23, 2019 at 4:07 | comment | added | eyeballfrog | @JJforTransparencyandMonica Well I don't disagree with that. But as long as we're going to have a policy about pronouns (and it seems that is foregone at this point), I would think we should have one that's clear and enforceable. | |
| Nov 23, 2019 at 1:50 | comment | added | eyeballfrog | @JJforTransparencyandMonica If it's so much of a problem, then singular they can be required as the gender neutral pronoun, but I don't think it will be. Honestly, this proposed policy still works with a vague "be reasonable" standard, because the default of singular they always exists to be used. That is what separates this from the current policy. In the current policy, you must call someone fae if that is what fae claims is faer pronoun, and that's what leaves it open to potential trolling (and the nasty false positives described in the OP). | |
| Nov 23, 2019 at 1:40 | comment | added | eyeballfrog | @JJforTransparencyandMonica I'm still having trouble envisioning the problem you're suggesting. Offensive language is already disallowed. | |
| Nov 22, 2019 at 22:54 | comment | added | eyeballfrog | @JJforTransparencyandMonica I don't see why any gender-neutral language should be considered unacceptable. If someone wants to use xe instead of singular they, that's fine. | |
| Nov 22, 2019 at 21:24 | comment | added | JJJ | But who determines which gender-neutral language should be used and which is not acceptable? Shouldn't that be included in your proposed policy? | |
| Nov 19, 2019 at 13:30 | comment | added | Scott Hannen | ...and not always allowing gender-neutral language doesn't cause any problems. That's why this question and all the answers and comments don't exist and everyone is happy. Oh, wait | |
