So happy to hear it! Enjoy my soundwaves 🥰

It doesn't save your preference. I'm constantly switching between two Discord accounts and every time I do, it returns to Halloween sounds. They drive me mad. 🥲

In fairness, I don't think it's that common for people to use it to address you ("Hey boss!") rather than just describing your role in relation to them ("My boss said..."). I don't think I've ever actually called anyone boss to their face before. 😂

Context is always going to be important. In the context I'm working with, I don't think 'boss' feels out of place. It didn't occur to me that it might feel like a gendered term. That may just be more vibes-based than in it's actual usage. It's normal to call people of all genders "my boss", right?

Picking one word that could apply to everyone (AMAB and AFAB) in a relatively casual context is tricky. I wonder, do you think "boss" might be acceptable? e.g. you tell someone to do something and they say "Yes, boss!"

I've heard of that. I suppose that works for a more formal or official context. Feels odd to me but that might just be lack of familiarity. You're right, there might be something to it.

Oh man, I wish I could. I'm looking to use this in a context where asking for individual preference isn't really an option and I only have pronouns to go on. Up until now I'd just avoided using any terms like this at all, regardless of gender. But sometimes it feels awfully dry. :/

That's an option. It still feels like a substantial jump in regality, but I'll keep it on the table!

I've also seen "sir" used in gender-neutral contexts and majority opinion seems to be in favour of that, but it might still be considered masculine in many cases. I could imagine AMAB people not being too pleased about it, maybe?

Side note, I've seen things like "xir" and, aside from it not being widely recognised, things like this make me think of Musk's "X is a cool letter so I'll use it everywhere" mentality. Doesn't mean I won't recognise it if that's what NBs want but I have to believe there are better options.

Do it!

It's not far off, to be honest!

One could say I'm a solid blend of the three, sure 😂

Don't feel any pressure to get involved, of course! But everyone should feel morally obligated to draw Aurya at all times. 😇

Likewise! 😊
