I am trying to follow up what is going on, but it is funny how as a non native speaker all these pronouns and gender discussions are alienating. I heard people saying to use neutral pronoun - but the one I learned was It, which sounds very strange. This seems so incendiary that I would never post in a public forum in English with my real name anymore, god knows who will dig my comments in the future. I don’t share the same culture and I don’t understand this nuances and how is appropriate to approach native English speakers (especially if they need special care with words). I work in one of the fortune 100 companies out of US - and we are getting trainings about this stuff but nobody understands much - people just look at each other puzzled and lost. This is really unfair to non native speakers, to add all these new rules and cultural assumptions - in my case is my working language. |
