    I'm a she, and I'd prefer to be referred to as so~ Won't get irritated if they call me a he, though~ ❤

    Well I definitely have a tendency to do typos, and it has definitely happened when it’s comes to interacting online using pronouns. Like just typing he instead of she, so I just gloss over pronouns in general regardless.

    Thing is since I don’t correct online friends, so i end up confusing them at times.
    But frankly I feel like correcting them is just giving an expectation to remember my gender, like I don’t want them to feel like they disappointed me because they didn’t get the right gender or couldn’t remember or typo mishaps.

    but I’m trying to use more neutral pronouns since I didn’t realize until friends pointed out I say hey guys & hey dudes when referring to Groups of ppl. Since over here, you hear it a lot.
    Definitely could just say hey everybody or peeps or y’all so going for that instead

    Personally speaking, it always felt weird to me when people used Dude to refer to a group of people...

    I mean, I sorta gloss over when it is "guys", but "dude" really feels like something clearly masculine to me... >.>

    I prefer to use actual gender neutral words whenever I don't know the other party's gender though! \(^^)/
