Oh that ' s nothing . Check this shit 3 m 30 s out . <| sep |> You deserve to be treated like everyone else . I think this is where the communication between those who support this and those who don ' t breaks down . See , in my eyes , calling someone by their gender or what they preferred to be called is treating them like everyone else . And that sort of facts into basic respect , imo , though a lot of people seem to have this idea that respect has to be earned . Which is weird , because I remember being taught in elementary school that we should be respectful of others . Anyway , to get back to what I was saying . Most people take their right to be referred to correctly for granted . Now , societal norms do play into it , but besides that , most people would get pretty annoyed if they ' re malefemale and were called the opposite all the time , or ' it '. It ' s the same thing , really . So addressing them the way they identify seems like just common courtesy , imo . But , I ' d be all for a academiclinguistic agreement on a set of new gender pronouns . I do agree with this , it might make it easier for everyone involved .
