Genus means grammatical gender. He is telling us his pronouns and I'm with him on this. Saying "my grammatical gender is masculine" makes a lot more sense than saying "my pronouns are he/him". Like, who's going to mix pronouns?
His grammatical gender is masculine and his hat gender is fabulous. That's the highest fez I've ever seen and the longest tassel. Well played, Sir.
Actually I work with someone who is she/they.
Does that literally means use she and they in each appropriate context? I've always interpreted that as meaning they're ok with one set of gendered pronouns and/or neutral pronouns, not that you're expected to contort pronoun use to neutral only in specific cases.
I'm not sure, they just wear a button on their lanyard that says that. So I refer to them as such. Hell, I don't care, call me whatever.
Hello, Whatever, I'm dad, nice to meet you.
Got 'im/'er/'em!
she/they here, it means pick one. on the rare occasion you meet someone who has "rules" like that they'll usually let you know what to call them when.
Yeah, but it's she/they and not she/them. No mixing.
Context dependent gender also makes a lot of sense to me. Call me masculine if my sex is important to you. Wiggles eyebrows.
