My fav part of federating's that whenever I see someone whining about how toxic hexbears are I can just look in the modlog and find the racist/ableist/transphobic thing they said that got dunked on (hexbear.net)

When your native language doesn't have gendered pronouns and you're afraid of misgendering by accident due to subconsciously defaulting to ”he” in English: meow-knit

I genuinely used to make that mistake even with cis people. I'd forget calling everyone it isn't acceptable lol.

Though on the internet the best idea is to double check all comments you're writing. If you make a mistake still, you can just apologize and edit it. Don't be too spooked.

I was mostly joking, but am in favor of genderless pronouns for all languages to eliminate this problem.
