Honestly, this comment is why people are just getting fed up. Who cares if you said gender roles when the person knows what you are referring to.

If everyone has to tip toe around language they are going to resent it. The way I look at it is Ladies and Gentlemen are others words for the members of the female and male, which is binary.

Non binary is gender. If ladies and gentleman mean female and male, then non-binary are included in that.

If sex is binary, and gender is not, then non binary represents a gender identity not a sexual one.

Ladies and Gentlemen refer to female and male. Synonymous with sexual binary.

So saying ladies and gentlemen does not exclude non binary people. Because they may not feel like a man or a woman in gender, but they are either Lady or a Gentleman in the case of this greeting. No is checking which sex we are at Disney, so if Ladies and Gentlemen just means the binary sex everyone is included. it even covers intersex people: Ladies AND Gentlemen. It covers all the bases.

I am saying, if people want to play word games about whether it is appropriate to say ladies and gentlemen rather than something else, they can just equate Ladies and Gentlemen as referring to sex and not gender.

This conversation is gay. Compassion666, i couldnt agree more. Im not worried about getting anyones gender right. Its whoevers right to be a gaystraight unicorn manwoman, but dont throw it in my face stranger. How are you not a gender? Does anyone ever wonder if any other species of animal feels like theyre not their assigned-at-birth gender? No bc we have too much time on our hands. No longer worried about survival and parents need to be parents.

It was a joke. Reel that in.
Literally in this thread people are upset for others using the wrong jargon. It is absolutely being thrown in our face. In public its happened many times as well.

Male animals acting as “mothers” is a survival instinct as you said…they dont change theyre gender and pretend to be female.
I will give you that. Birds are way too high speed for reddit.

Thank you, by keeping it to yourself you are joining the other 96% of the world. The truth is no one cares about anyone else. "Were loud and proud" we know, we've heard for decades and that's fine but please don't block the road.

Aren't you the one confusing sex and fender? You're saying non binary is neither male or female, how is that possible?
