It is a word, but not one he meant lol

I know "what shall we do with the drunken sailor" I just only put the one word to make it clear what I meant

also not to be rude it's minor and I've done it myself plenty but as far as I can tell there's no indication of their gender or pronouns in their bio or comment history should put they not he sorry if you know them from somewhere else don't mean it to sound aggressive I've unconsciously assumed people on the internet are guys too before

I kinda just put it there automatically without thinking. Didn't mean to misgender anyone, in case I did, sorry

yeah that's what I thought I didn't think it was midgendering or anything like I said I've done the same

Love your way of pointing out the accidental gendering. These are exactly the thoughts that are in my head when I want to correct someone on this.
