Note: unless you’re deliberately obscuring someone’s gender and know their preferred pronouns, use their preferred pronouns.

    I’m pretty sure the metaphor is that the figure is going to misgender a she/her as they/them, to have plausible deniability, when they really intended to misgender as he/him.

    I don’t think this is a very well crafted one, it doesn’t read clearly as evidenced by the paragraph of supporting details posted alongside.

      Yeah this isn’t a well crafted meme at all. The point should be way more clear but just isn’t.

        I think it’s cool how we’re out here complaining about the sub-par memecraft.

      Yep. Those people who insist the singular they isn’t acceptable English whip that shit out when they see a brick in a dress
