If you're out in public and you see someone whose gender you can't figure out, follow these simple steps:

1. Don't fuckin worry about it

@LadyDragonfly just funny to me because we can’t figure out anyone’s gender by looking tbh

@LadyDragonfly wait... I'm not supposed to get irrationally angry and belligerent? Rant to other people about how I know their gender expression better than them? Seethe at the mere thought that someone lies outside of my neat little rigid arbitrary boundaries I have clutched to because of some insecurity I have?

I think I can do that πŸ™‚

@LadyDragonfly Exactly! Why does it really and truly matter anyways?
@LadyDragonfly My strategy is to Just Say They, and let them correct me if necessary!
@LadyDragonfly love this step by step instruction, it is very easy to follow and works right away. 10/10

@LadyDragonfly But this made me think: what (non-name) pro/noun is the most gender-neutral if someone walking in front of you drops something and you want to get their attention. (added context: the observing person behind cannot move fast to catch-up).

I'd like to think I could quickly formulate something like "hey you with the shoulder bag and blue sneakers - you dropped your folder!" - but I know I'd probably just blurt out a gendered pronoun based on their appearance.

@LadyDragonfly One of the servers at a local coffee shop is either trans or wildly non-conformist and since it's not really any of my business it's just a mental thumbs up whenever I'm reminded they exist.

"What's in your pants?" is, somehow surprisingly, out of place in a "Good morning, here's your coffee" "Thank you, I'm off to work now!" interaction.

@LadyDragonfly but how in the world will i know how to marginalize them?
@LadyDragonfly When in doubt, they're a nun.
Nun of your biznatch.

2. Assume it's you, not them...

@LadyDragonfly

The best advice ever!!
