Non-binary folks go by they and aren't a lady or a gentleman

Exactly.
And honestly, good for them.
I don’t see myself as a lady or a gentleman. I’m some kind of female but lady seems really very wrong to describe me.

Broccoli rabe rules. Y'all just need to stop complaining and put it on a sandwich, chop it up into some pasta, eat that delicious bitter green already.

You fuckers raised us so if we're not tough enough by your standards look in the fucking mirror

Wow so sensitive, so emotional. Maybe you need to buck up and suck it up buttercup.

Don’t believe the bs. Broccoli Rob is shit. It’s like not breaking off the end of the asparagus and eating the entire asparagus. The extra end pieces are tough and not good to eat. SMH if you’re eating that go for it have some extra well done steak with it and keep it to yourself. Here have a scoop of V potato salad as CDs well.

Thanks, Grilled Cheese. I saw this, but didn’t have time to respond.

The thing is, non-binary is a vague identifier, and there’s no phrase that satisfies a spectrum completely, language being a clarifying tool.

Say you address a group by “hello everyone” to avoid any issues, you’re not actually acknowledging their non-binary identity that is somewhere different on the spectrum from the next person, you’re bypassing it completely for something they can’t deny, which is their personhood. If the argument is lack of inclusivity regarding gender identity, it kind of breaks down, bc gender identity is no longer the focus.

I totally get Keith’s side on this one, and I may even be on his side, but I could also see myself doing what Kyle did.

It would be one thing if she called the landlord herself, but he was already there. To put it in context, it’s completely understandable that someone could see a persistent issue/fault in the apartment the past 3 years they’ve dated you, and then suddenly the person responsible for fixing it, the landlord, is right there and you’re looking at ‘em, so you bring it to their attention.

If you told her your concerns prior to her talking to the landlord, that’s another thing.

I’m someone who likes things a certain way. It would bug me that a tub looks shitty every time I go in a bathroom, so I understand her. I may even be the type to call the landlord, or ask you to, honestly. But then, I’m no New Yorker that has to worry about a crazy price hike for decent living conditions.

Right, I know I get pissed every time my wife complains to the property owner about some shit that needs fixing! Like so what if the toilet handle doesn’t work just reach in and pull up the flap by hand why do you have to make an issue of it? Now I gotta go to the hardware store.
