Official Staff Communication
We understand that the concept of being non-binary is new to many people. However, non-binary people deserve the same respect that anyone else does, and as such, we feel it is important to set guidelines so that discussion in this thread can be informed and civil:
*Representation is important and is something to celebrate, so avoid making dismissive comments.
*Respect people's preferred pronouns. Language is continually evolving, and derails arguing that (they/them/their) isn't singular will lead to a ban. For reference, the AP Style Book, which is a standard that many copy-editors and writers use, allows for the use of they/them/their for non-binary people.
*Be respectful and kind in how you approach discussions about this subject.
For more information on what is meant by non-binary, please see the non-binary OT: https://www.resetera.com/threads/non-binary-ot-01101110-01101111-01101110.119742/
