'''English neutral pronouns''' are an ongoing problem. This is best known not only as a matter of concern when writing documents that need to use inclusive language, but also for any [[nonbinary]] people who prefer not to have their pronouns imply that they are female or male. As shown in surveys, many nonbinary people are okay with being called "he" or "she," but there are also many nonbinary people who don't want to be called either of these. The surveys show that the most popular gender-neutral pronoun for nonbinary people is [[singular they]], but nearly as many prefer or accept some other neutral pronoun. See examples of this in [[Pronouns#Use for non binary people|pronouns in use for nonbinary people]]. | '''English neutral pronouns''' are an ongoing problem.

Most of this is because "woke" folks need real jobs so they aren't preoccupied with making stuff up. For practical, real world purposes, you (yes, "you") only need to worry with if the person sucks dick or doesn't suck | Most of this is because "woke" folks need real jobs so they aren't preoccupied with making stuff up.
