  • In my example I’ve said that would be a prejudice. It is still more common to talk about a teacher as a man unless their pronouns are known, but they don’t give a fuck when it happens. I got called by both feminine and masculine pronouns in legal paperwork; it’s not a big deal and that comes from someone with a social gender dysphoria.

    Name, next referred to only as person. And then feminine suffixes in upcoming legal fluff, because person is always feminine. Or a prosecutor and the rest is instead masculine. It is truly at bottom of a barrel of social problems and would require an eradication of multiple languages as they/them becomes used around B2 level of english and even then it slips, because mother tongue is a mother tongue.


  • There can be multiple reasons:

    • Commenter just had a slip up and thought of it as a masculine profession which is fine. It does happen.
    • Commenter’s first language is not English. Czech for example doesn’t use they/them for a single person unless it is neo-pronouns. So instead we just gender based on word of a profession, which is 99% of the time masculine. Only exception that comes to mind is a nurse which translates to homonym of sister. There are also feminine suffixes for jobs but that is only used if you know that the person who works it uses feminine pronouns or if the field is heavily dominated by women but then it is a prejudice.
