'Hey, guys' versus 'Hey, friends'

That's especially important for workplaces to remember, says Max Masure, co-founder of Argo Collective, a group created to train workplaces on gender and inclusion.

Masure recommends embracing simple changes. Even something seemingly small like saying "hey, everyone" instead of "hey, guys" when you enter a meeting can help make non-binary employees feel less "other."

"Changing the vocabulary is something that is easy, compared to changing society," Masure says. "When you start using real, gender-neutral terms, you prompt society to change over time. So 'hey guys' is powerful. You might misgender someone who is masculine-presenting, who's non-binary."


Welp.

It's getting complicated.

No matter how many times you add zero, you'll never reach one.

Ergo, no matter how many non-binaries you add up, you'll never reach one binary.

if gender norms are a social construct and hold no inherent meaning, then how come people are so crazy about what their perceived gender is? Like, what makes their social construct any more viable than the current one? Where is the foundation for it?

Like, people are so crazy about how others think of them...Why does it matter? If you're 100% sure of yourself and who you are, then what does it matter how others feel?

What happened to sticks and stones, or I'm rubber you're glue? Or anything? Where did it all go wrong? I seriously bet the hair dye companies are behind this....Club music died and they needed a new reason for the green hair.
