Please give maia the respect she deserves and use the correct pronouns.


She goes by it, so go look in the mirror. We're all trying our best here.


Maia uses both she and it pronouns. The poster before me misgendered it though, which absolutely isn't okay.


I try and use a person's preferred pronoun. Sometimes I fail, and that absolutely OK.


after your comment, I looked at her main page more closely and found that she mentioned "it/she" in a superscript the middle of a paragraph, so that's what I corrected it to.

I do have to say that, while it's polite to use people's preferences, when just reading an article and posting a quick comment, it's pretty casual, and (almost always) no offense is meant, so none should be taken. Note that the bulk of the comments here are all over the map, and I'm sure no one means to be offensive.



Apparently the pronouns to use are it/its? According to other people which makes your comment even better.


she uses both pronoun sets: it/its and she/her[1].
