Pronouns: really what is the problem? Seems basic courtesy that you’d call people what they prefer to be called. If it’s not really your thing, well do your best & try and avoid giving offence. But the idea that you’d actually prohibit or penalise people for any of this - incomprehensible

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...
