Willie Mays or AT&T - Whoever determines the name defines the relationships.
Fabian【ファビアン】🏳️🌈@cjust Gulf of America is trans? 
@fabiscafe I don't know - I don't have any experience in gender or sexuality studies of geography.
mau@cjust Did the famous gulf choose the name by itself? I don't think so.
Rene Gat@cjust Simple: Mexico ends on „o“, thus male. America ends on „a“, thus female. Everyone who knows a bit of Spanish, Italian, Portuguese or Latin knows this.
Katharina Nocun@cjust Made my day! ❤️
Benjamin Braatz@cjust Don't know if I *really* like that take, though. Does it mean we should also respect the gulf name change the other way round?
Zeborah@HeptaSean We should respect whatever name the gulf itself chooses, yes. In the absence of the gulf expressing its preferences it's more complicated but the take wasn't really saying whether we should or shouldn't respect a name change imposed for political reasons; rather it was pointing out that if you're capable of learning and using a new name for a gulf, you're capable of learning and using a new name for a person so the "but it's too hard" excuse doesn't work.
