Beehaw has been… difficult. If you disagree that something is *phobia or *phobic then it’s a quick way to get them mad at you.
I remember somebody ( person A) getting especially angry because another person (person B) used the pronoun “them” to refer to person A. It was pointed out that not every client shows the pronouns beside the username and still it was considered *phobic.
That sounds frustrating. I understand what their instance is all about and I want to believe they’re mostly decent people who sometimes wrongly lash out at perceived slights.

Isn’t “them” the neutral pronoun anyway?
