Insisting that everyone should have a clear, recognizable and unchangeable gender only makes sense if you want to treat people of different genders differently.

Which you clearly shouldn't.

@slothrop I've asked this before, but what do I do with my polite "ma'am" and "sir"s that are in my speech patterns?

I think last time I asked, we settled on "comrade", and 86'd "boss" or "jefe". But, I still haven't been able to fix my speech.

It's stupid, but I do have a no-ill-intent reason to want a clear, recognizable gender

@BoydStephenSmithJr @slothrop "your excellency" and "your majesty" are both gender neutral...
