A comment on A Critique of the Open Letter Calling for the Removal of RMS. Parent comment
- A person may choose which pronouns apply to themselves (on grounds of principle)
- A person must not dictate which pronouns apply to a whole gender (on grounds of practice)
I'd be interested to [hear] when [RMS] would not use someone's preferred pronoun and instead call them a 'perse'?
Presumably, when the pronoun preference of the person isn't known to the speaker?
