Tristan is talking about gender issues and you're assuming that Tristan wants to be referred to as a male when his point is that maybe Tristan does, maybe Tristan doesn't, or maybe Tristan has conflicting feelings on how Tristan wants to be referred.

Are you using a "Come at me bro?" meme?

nah...no memes https://boxden.com/images/icons/nHXEgl8-compressor.png

@mindful

Tristan is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns, so using gendered terms for them like "bro" or "dude" can be invalidating unless you have explicit permission. Now you know!

I'm happy to hear that, Tristan :) And it's really cool that exploring your gender brings you happiness :beer:

About the bro discussion: I tend to call everyone dude or man irrespective of gender, and many other people mean to use those words in an ungendered way, maybe Mindfulness too. But of course that people mean it that way does not mean it sounds that way to everyone, or that it can't make people uncomfortable

That's right, son.

talk about mental illness, glad its being mentioned in this thread..https://boxden.com/smilies/Dlu1txZ.png

Exploring gender is not a mental illness. That's really rude to insinuate.
