11 June: They is They are (#rdp)

B&W photo generating by Midjourney of a gender-fluid woman dressed as a man.

They Is and They Are

She was given
the wrong name tag,
and for the rest of the evening,
everyone called her Jake.

      LOL! It occurred to me that if a person considered themselves ‘non binary’ and they wish to be called ‘they’ (rather than he or she), then is it “they is” or “they are”, and according to the OED both are correct. So then I decided to see what Midjourney thought of that. I gave it a simple prompt which included “gender fluidity and non-binary”. It gave me this image. I think this person is just extraordinarylooking!

    I remember that before I got wind of the non binary pronouns etc, I was reading articles and I was like How can they miss that mistake in editing from such a big outlet?! 😁

    MJ nailed it!

      I think this person is stunningly gorgeous. I’m quite clear on my own identity, and to understand what other people are experiencing is no bad thing. But the word “woke” does annoy me a bit… the word, I mean, just that word.
