Comment on UK | Man loses sex discrimination claim after boss says ‘sorry boys’ at awards do
ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 2 months agoGender was needlessly injected by the English language, which requires gendered pronouns. The boss had no choice about referring to the winner as “she”, she just chose to comment on it.

Did she not have the gender-neutral pronoun ‘they’ in her lexicon?

Sure, but she didn’t use it for the same reason you’re using “she” and “her” instead of “they” and “their” - she knew the winner’s gender.

She absolutely could have used “they” until the winner’s identity was revealed to maintain the mystery.

…she was actively revealing the winners identity. Please fucking think for a moment before arguing back.
