In most of the world that doesn’t require asking pronouns, though.
Hell, my wife gets confused over them because her native language doesn’t have gendered ones. We’re both enby, the only thing that bothers us is wierdos thinking we’re in the “wrong” toilet
Yes, and the person you replied to said that it doesn’t happen there … if something is absent it doesn’t necessarily make it worse, it just means it’s handled in a different way.
Like where I live - most people use feminine words for me simply because that’s the toilet I use most of the time. If I wanted to correct them I could do so gently without making a big deal of it
From my point of view (namely an enby from outside of the US) it does look like that … mostly because it should be a non-issue, yet people who would prefer gender-neutral terms spend a lot of time fussing over it

In a good chunk of the world, yes. But Australia is an english-speaking country, so - last I checked - it still uses gendered pronouns.

Fair point, though I get annoyed sometimes by both sides of the US culture wars so I read it from that standpoint
