My thoughts exactly. I meant it when I said this feels really stupid to be arguing over and I was all ready myself to say that I'm done here.
Wow, nail on the head. That's exactly what I'm feeling about your input as well.
Honestly, if your hook in this was just that I assumed the genders wrong in a situation that plays out similarly regardless of the genders at work, you're being pedantic.
I mean, given that a gay or non-binary person might actually take the news that the other person is open to a friendship better than a typical straight guy, your point is self defeating. You're literally just mad that I said "her" and "him".
Inclusivity matters. I get it. I'm not the kind of person who adheres to heteronormativity. But forcing inclusivity in a situation where it doesn't make a difference to give validity to an opinion that might go against the grain is just tedious and uncalled for.
Later.
