Oh but not trans of course, so polite of you to leave them out in your heteronormative take on the world.

I would have hoped most were aware of the pressures the transgender community is under and would offer more care than such casual takes on gender in the workplace.

You don't have to be perfect but you could at least try to be better.

Trans people can be women as well, so saying "Women can be managers as well" does not exclude trans people because female-identifiying trans people are still "women".

It's not totally inclusive of people who identify outside of the binary genders, but saying "women can be mangers" does not exclude men or people who don't identify as either. I hope my point still remains though that using "they" as a gender neutral pronoun is a perfectly easy way to be inclusive.

> your heteronormative take on the world

I mean i am a (cis) gay male, so I don't think I have a heteronormative take on the world, but you do you.

(acknowledging this comment seems to be puposefully trolly, like a "false flag" troll)

Oh so now you get to decide how they should self identify; how very generous of you.

At this stage you really need to stop and think about what you are doing and who you are hurting; they're just words to you but they're a lifetime of hurt to others.

Be . Better.

You really want to call upon the equivalent of the "some of my best friends are black" excuse? I can't even...

If you have some constructive feedback on how I could have worded what i said to be better, I’m definitely open for it. I’m always trying to be better.

Perhaps it would be been better (for a number of reasons) to say “not all managers are male” instead?
