Suppose it depends on the person and what they are comfortable with I guess. I'm forever learning though so someone can correct me.

While it may not be something you have come across personally, as a Canadian, I can say that this is very much a false statement.
I've been experiencing this for a while too and don't know how to deal with it tbh :(
Oh, without a doubt this requires some adjustment. As I understood it, they were a gay furry - but now they've come out as non-binary, it's presumably inappropriate to call them gay any more and would be more polite to simply say "SonicFox is a non-binary furry that's attracted to men".
For me it's just amusing that as teenagers and young adults we rebelled against labels but, today, it seems there are as many labels as there are people. Can't really argue against something that makes people more comfortable, though, can you?
No editor would strike these as incorrect.
You would refer to the individual by their name.
if you ever want to chat about this, shoot me a message and we can talk there or I can give you my discord tag :)
why the fuck would you care?
and no one changed genders here, you just sound ignorant as fuck
AP style guide says it's fine so let's drop it. I accept it. Not trying to make anything out of it. Just wanted to know how to correctly write a sentence about a non-binary individual in a professional manner.
No, you're just fucking wrong and at this point you're bordering on transphobia with how insistent you're being that people's pronouns shouldn't be respected. Here's the AP stylebook, the industry standard for US journalism, explaining why the singular they is acceptable. So yeah every editor absolutely would not
I'm giving this post a 0 out of a possible 0. It never had any chance of not being garbage, and in a way, it fulfilled its potential.
Stanning forever
In extreme cases, you can always put "The individual, *Name*". So stop, singular neutral pronouns are completely acceptable and your take reeks of bad faith.
Considering the DoJ managed to write an entire 110 page brief on Amiee Stephen's supreme court case, without gendering her, correctly or incorrectly, this argument holds no water.

they already showed up, some of them even coming up with fictional occupations whining about how respecting someone's pronouns makes their job harder
not necessarily. plenty of nb people identify as gay or queer and some choose not to
I certainly have little faith in them "helping assert our individual rights" if they didn't know basic respect stuff like this lmao
Nah.
Ah, thanks! Wasn't going to rest until I read this lol
Sonicfox sounds legitimately a good person! Best of wishes!
OK, I'm confused at the man part? I thought non-binary meant that the man/woman binary was being rejected?
Even though I'm kind of uneducated on the subject, at least I try to learn and educate myself and try to understand how gender works and the different labels associated with it. This is peoples feelings and the way they percieve themselves and want be percieived in life by other people. It's no laughing matter. Jezus.
Alright. Asking the question and accepting a sourced answer = bad faith. Sure buddy.
or never
you know what you were doing, it was transparent as fuck
Some NB folks might choose to lean more towards one side of the spectrum over the other.

Oh hey since there's a lot of ppl here just find out about nonbinary identities, along with some who are nb or questioning themselves, a good time to plug our Non-binary Community Thread!
I'm guessing it implies he is genetically male but identifies as neither male or female.
But yeah I don't get why that part is relevant.
there should be a little thing at the bottom of the post, next to the repot button.

No, nonbinary can mean you don't strictly id as a binary gender, but doesn't mean it can't be a part of you
Should be in the bottom left corner of each post, next to the report button. If you're on mobile and don't see it, trying rotating your phone to landscape.
I think you as OP can add threadmarks by selecting the option under the post you want to threadmark:
So it's a case by case situation and you just go for the least offensive one unless they say otherwise.
They want to be called they as it's a genderless pronoun. They don't identify with either gender.
It can take some getting used to if you're unfamiliar with non binary people, generally they isn't used as a singular in English so it can feel clunky and people can forget, but it's extremely rude, to say the least, to continue to refer to them as he on purpose.
