Flation be gone
TAIWAN #1!
“where did Jack leave the forklift”
“HE left it in the warehouse”
No one does the following
“Where did JACK leave the forklift?”
“Jack left the forklift in the warehouse”
The problem is if you go by “she”, the first phrasing is hurtful. But it isn’t common to pop back the person’s name in a reply sentence.
Even more clear is:
“Where did they leave the forklift”
“He left it in the warehouse”
Mind, it may well not be intentional, but a non binary person is made uncomfortable by being misgendered, so in a welcoming and safe workspace they’d want to ask “hey so I actually use she/her, can you please use those in regards to me?”
But in an unsafe or unwelcoming workspace they would either be shamed/retaliated against for that, or (in the case of government offices now) forced to not ask in the first place.
