This is, of course, an attempt to deny Roem her womanhood. But still.

They just really wanted to misgender a trans woman and would otherwise be thwarted by the rules of decorum. This bothers me a lot, the practice of ungendering spaces as opposed to respecting trans women. It started in feminist spaces and the hard right picked up on it.
-
I get that, but would much rather have gender neutral language used as ladies and gentlemen carries huge power status. Job titles should be genderless with appropriate pronouns used. ‘The delegate’ and he or she.
-
I mean... the particular motivation sucks but I really do actually believe this happens to be the right thing.

I mean I'm conflicted. It's vile that they are doing this to their colleague, and their motivation is connected to the spectrum of violence against tw. I suspect they'll change the rule back if/when Roem is no longer a delegate. BUT, like, can we do more of this generally?

Why not ask which pronouns people would prefer? Easy.

i don't think they want to be polite or respectful.

Even though it’s just an excuse for them to not call her a woman.

Imagine being so incapable of addressing one person by their preferred (and correct) pronouns that you change the rules about how you address everybody; it is that hard for these people to engage in basic human decency.

Didn't take long their for the ajenda to come out. If you want to work in a position that has a train attached to it you should have to accept that tradition or not work there.

Accepting tradition is not really the business of people who work to change the law.
