If you address them directly, you don't use a gender pronoun. "Could 'you' please bring me the...?" If you talk about them when they're not around, what does it matter? They don't know how your refer to them. If you compliment them or complain to the manager, just ssy 'Our waitperson...'.

King James version, Acts9:5, "...it is hard for thee to kick among the pricks." And there were doubtless a lot of them out there. But the New King James version changed it to "...hard for thee to kick among the goads." I have mixed feelings about pricks getting kicked out of the Bible in favor of goads --whatever they are.Geo.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16221314320558128986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-20181344590353048142021-10-30T02:04:03.844-04:002021-10-30T02:04:03.844-04:00It's all "over the top" and heading ...It's all "over the top" and heading towards ridiculous in my mind. I understand people want to be recognised for what they are, but surely that comes after the introduction and learning of names? <br />"Hi, my name is (whatever)" and then we find out (or not) what their preferred pronoun is. I don't see how it is possible to know beforehand how to address someone we have never met and probably wont ever see again, like a waiter/waitress, casual person at the checkout and so on. If they are wearing name tags, we just call them by that name. Simple, easy, non offensive.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.com
