Sorry, but it's true.

"Cowbee apology form" with check-box options: The haters convinced me he was bad, I didn't read the actual thread, I miss Reddit, I don't know how much MoG love fascism, I was jealous of Hexbear influence gains, Mercury was in retrograde. Bottom check-box is labeled "I will hereby respect Cowbee and I will NOT talk down in the future fist-ballot Hall of Famer."

Oh, thank you for the info, but when i said that I am uncomfortable with that pronoun, i said it in the sense "I'm not used to this pronoun and don't know how to use it properly".

If I understood well, it can be used like he-his, she-her, they-theirs? I gotta use gender neutral pronouns more often. Sounds better than "it-its"

    Oh that makes sense, sorry I misunderstood!

    Yep, they/them/theirs is used in the same place as he/him/his or she/her/hers. It/it/its should not be used for people unless someone explicitly says those are their preferred pronouns. "It" is typically used for objects and non-human animals, so it could be seen as rude to refer to a human as "it." If unsure, use they/them.
