I refer to EVERYONE with you/they/them regardless of their preference, because it's linguistically correct regardless of their gender.

There are some professors who are just libtards. It's not really avoidable and you can't do anything about it. If this becomes a recurring theme then I would suggest dropping out, but sometimes you just have to deal with this.

it's the 'latinx' retardation but for English. humans are born either male or female barring edge case mutations. the languages of the world largely feature gendered pronouns in accordance with this reality.

Correction: I should say transfer instead of drop out, for some reason I assumed you were a first year.

Who cares, retard. Some profs think it's uncivilized to call people by their first name. You gonna insist on calling your prof "Bob" because you think you're special? Good luck with that

>> No.15692000

>>15691923
no, that'd be the current attempt to redefine "they/them" to be purely singular or gender-related, which it has never been. if you were a native English speaker, you'd know this.

>>15691933
>an unknown person
nah, just undescribed. it can imply plurality and unknown nature, but doesn't require it - it's a pronoun, not an adjective.
