Male pronouns. Wonder if we could get options for this is user profiles...

Not possible in phpbb code, without adding it as a custom field. And I doubt the mods want that pain in the arse.

Little tacky, but it'd do the trick. Using alt 11 and alt 12 for conciseness. ♂♀

I'd like she/her/hers thanks!

by **wingedocelot** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 7:18 am UTC

She/her/hers thanks!

And are there two of you or was that a mistake?

by **Angua** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 7:57 pm UTC

Considering they only have one postcount, they probably posted twice when their first one didn't appear.

I know I know, I was just introducing her to Rob, the resident smartarse...

OBJECTION, your honour! Clearly, he's not the only resident smartass! (He is the least arrogant smartass though, have to give him that)

That's not quite the point of this thread or of having pronouns on our profile.

Not to mention the number of people who would (a) rather not have it on their profile, or (b) rather not be associated with one of the traditional genders and its associated pronouns.

There's always the a) not filling in that field and b) using a sign for a non-traditional gender (I just looked them up and they exist).

I hope it's obvious that I, in no way, meant to offend.

The point of this thread is to ask the pronouns people prefer, so that we can use them when we talk about them. It is not about people's gender; that is personal information that nobody is obligated to provide. The idea is to avoid presumption of gender and insensitivity.

by **KrO2** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 1:49 am UTC

On topic, he/him/his. And I'd like to add that I think this thread is a good idea.

by **Servant-of_Christ** » Sat Apr 21, 2012 12:16 am UTC

Male pronouns please. Servant or SoC also work

by **trineroks** » Sat Apr 21, 2012 2:50 am UTC

he/him/his (male pronouns)

It's the fault of these gendered languages >_> Reforming English isn't any closer either.

Male. Male pronouns.

Sorry if it's a lot of hassle for a very small change, but now that I've thought about it I'd like to have it on mine that I don't really like plural pronouns.

So it'd be he/him/his > she/her/hers > they/their/theirs.

Sorry for the trouble and thanks for an excellent thread!

by **Weeks** » Fri Jun 01, 2012 8:43 pm UTC

It's no hassle at all. You're very welcome. =)

Don't know why I haven't posted in this thread before. I prefer male pronouns.

People so far have been correct in using male pronouns for me, but if you want sonething else to call me by then you can call me derp.

Alright. I'm going to have to omit your other request, I'd rather avoid listing potentially offensive choices that are not serious anyway.
