Backstory? Bloke seems like a classic unwashed neckbeard.

I believe what happened was there was a bill proposed that would let people change their gender marker if they self-id, and discussion/debate was encouraged among the public. Maya took the encouragement to discuss the bill in good faith, and did so, not realizing that by "discuss the bill" they meant "only praise the bill."

During a facebook discussion she referred to the above neckbeard as a he, when in fact his preferred pronouns are "they/them." She apologized and did not "misgender" him again.

(We should have a "they" bathroom. Men's, Women's, and They's. It can be full of neckbearded snowflakes like him. hahahahahahaha)

The company she had a contract with did not renew her contract. I'm not sure if they said it was because she misgendered neckbeard, or not.

Also, in googling for pictures of the neckbeard I learned that he has since been suspended from his position on some council for calling the people he was governing TERFS and stuff like that.

I think gender-neutral pronoun users use "they/them" to form one giant super-annoying special entity. Also, I'm really missing the days of "xe/xir."
