Fuck it, no more Mr. Mrs. Miss or Ms.

Everyone is M.

M. McBride
M. Self

What a asshole. Not just for misgendering her but for throwing a tantrum when confronted.

Mostly unrelated, but holy shit, it's taken me about a decade to realize that's why the play is called M. Butterfly and this comment just did it. I just never really thought about the title, but the ambiguity makes sense.

I personally prefer using gender neutral pronouns in professional communications unless someone has set a clear preference - but even this is verboten under this administration they demand he/she and everything else is woke.

Maybe Mrs Self should think about how they can choose to identify themselves but are trying to restrict that right (and have, successfully) for a fellow American.
