@mancavgeek@social.teamb.space My opinion is only one and I would never be bold enough to speak for anyone else but to me he/him+they/them very much comes off as respectful, not problematic. @ifin@infosec.exchange

    @chillybot@infosec.exchange @mancavgeek@social.teamb.space This is a tough area because of course it's a subjective call. Two examples of rejections: "nt authority/system""All the digits of pi"

  • @chillybot@infosec.exchange @ifin@infosec.exchange Thanks - this has come up a couple of times and, while I'm not expecting any one person to speak for a whole, varied community, I'm interested to find out if anyone takes it the wrong way. So far, the only people not to like it have been the people who get offended by pronouns, and ive had some abuse for it, but I'm lucky enough for it not to be serious. I did once joke to a friend who is trans that I was thinking of using "Oi/You", and their response was to go "Ooohhh, wait a minute", them sent me a link to their new profile, which had that there. But I think that would be taken as bad taste, so ive never used it, even though i do tend to answer to that - working in retail does that!
