It's not up you how somebody wants to be addressed after requesting it. You don't have to harbor cruel feelings about it. Singular they has been used in English for a long time historically.
- dctoedt 7y ago> It's not up you how somebody wants to be addressed after requesting it. Really? If you were to ask me to address you as Your Imperial Majesty, you should not hold your breath waiting for me to comply. Language evolves; in formal English, singular they has long been unacceptable. (Informal English is another story.) EDIT: >You don't have to harbor cruel feelings about it. You're proving my point in assuming I "harbor cruel feelings" about trans people.
