#HopefulGender Cards
nonbinary, they/them,
NOT sir or dude
FRONT
Text that says:
”I AM NONBINARY. MY PRONOUNS ARE THEY/THEM.
I appreciate your intention of politeness,
but please do not address me as sir or dude
Gender cannot be assumed by voice or appearance.
Instead, ask individuals how they'd like to be addressed.
Ideas for gender neutral greetings:
friend(s), pal(s), folks, everyone, y'all.”

"When a #transgender person corrects you about their #pronoun, it can be a sign that we want to keep hanging out. A hopeful gesture.”
Underneath is a subtweet
"Conversely, when we don't correct you, don't take it as a relief, as politeness, or a favour. This is the sound of giving up & moving on.”
