I am confused about how standing up for cats while literally commenting on /c/cats would be downvoted so hard.
You weren’t standing up for cats, you were enforcing binary gender roles on cats. What if the cat doesn’t want a human idea of gender projected onto it? If I were a cat, I wouldn’t give two whiskers about human genders and pronouns.
And as I replied to another, I learned that today based on the wording of their reply.
So that’s a new thing I know now. I still don’t think “they” is binary though. It’s is kinda the star example of non-binary.
But I guess I did exclude a pronoun that I didn’t know existed. I thought the word was specifically calling the cat an object, so now I know better. It wasn’t intentional, and definitely not meant that way (as in not meant to force or exclude, aka discriminate).
