I said gender neutral pronouns exist. I said they/them is a non-gendering pronoun. Non-gendering pronouns and gender neutral pronouns are the same thing. You cannot gender someone with a gender neutral pronoun. You cannot gender someone correctly with a gender neutral pronoun. You cannot gender someone incorrectly with a gender neutral pronoun. You cannot gender someone correctly, incorrectly, otherwise, or even at all with a gender neutral pronoun.
All of Hexbear has bad reading comprehension.
Half of them heard me say “you can’t gender someone incorrectly with they/them” and hates me for always using they/them.
Half of them heard me say “you can’t gender someone correctly with they/them” and hates me for never using they/them.
The amount I use they/them is not always, and it is not never. I use they/them when someone’s preferred pronouns are they/them, or when I don’t know someone’s preferred pronoun and can’t find the information. Hexbear refuses to believe it, but there are lots of examples of this on this sublemmy. It’s pretty concretely proven.
I said they/them doesn’t gender people because it’s a gender neutral pronoun. Hexbear’s admins removed this comment. Look, it’s right here in the modlog:
Removed Comment “They” is a non gendering pronoun. If you use they/them, you’ll never misgender anyone, but you’ll also never gender anyone correctly either. Some people are okay with not being gendered and some people aren’t. You should respect their wishes once you’ve heard them, but I don’t believe you have any obligation to check them in advance.

Then, the admins banned me for this, and other left-wing comments they feel were reactionary. Look, it’s right here:
Banned DroneRights [it/its]
reason: multiple instances of reactionary takes
In conclusion: Hexbear banned me for saying gender neutral pronouns exist. This evidence is indisputable. If you’d like to dispute it, you’re welcome to, as long as you read all of this post and don’t lie. If you want to suggest an alternate reading of events, you’d better have evidence.
I mean, is it rude to say this is about what I expected happens over on hexbear? Infighting over semantics seems pretty much par for the course.
It’s not rude, it’s well known that Hexbear is bigoted, but I wanted to document the specifics of their transphobia in the most minute detail, because they always claim there’s no substance to the accusations against them. This sublemmy has 110% substance exploring the issues thoroughly, and that disarms Hexbear’s biggest smokescreen.
