I have well meaning people at a party who are trying to describe their friend who is supposedly gender fluid but they dont really know how to talk about them? Do you just refer to gender fluid people as they/them until they tell you how they feel that day/week/whatever? Do you refer to them as what you last were calling them? Id look it up but im very drunk and i dont teuat googlr in this state lol

    Do you know if that person alternates between she / her and he /him, or between other sets of pronouns, depending on which gender the person is presenting as at a given time? In that case, you could alternate between both sets of pronouns in conversation when the person is not around. Or you can do what i’m doing in this reply and avoid using pronouns for the person entirely, that’s always the safest way.

    Regardless, thanks for being mindful about this!
