It's good that yer respectful about at least. Skye's gender ID was kind of a heated topic when he first was added to the game and we had people coming in here being willfully ignorant and calling him she just to be dicks. The shitstorm of arguments got so bad at one point a mod had to put a always visible warning about it on the thread. For my part I have a friend in the real world who is trans female and when she first came out to me I spent a long time being unwilling/able to respect her pronouns and it hurt her pretty badly.Might just be because I'm older and more set in my ways, but I'm still having to make a constant effort to not refer to Skye as "she". I mean if he was taking testosterone, had breast reductions, etc then I might have an easier time with it. But this whole "I may look and sound like a hot ass chick and give you the 'fuck me' eyes, but Imma need you to go ahead and call me a he." is just so awkward for me at times lol. Probably sound like an ass to some people for saying that. But I really don't mean it that way. If Skye were a person I knew irl I would try my best to respect his wishes. Just couldn't promise not to ever slip sometimes.
When I realized how it was effecting her I made a promise to her and myself to always respect her and any other trans person pronouns whether they are fictional or not
