    Sorry to all the Blakes, Dylans, Ashleys, Francises, Shannons, Frankies, Charlies, Rorys, Blairs, Leslies, Angels, Billies, Sams, Kellys, Danas, Harleys, Adins, Caseys, and all the other non-binary/gender neutral names that I can’t think of right now.

        Even for gender cishet people a Dylan, Casey or Sam might be a “he/him” or “she/her” and its just not obvious from the name.

          So?

          Does that mean we all have to waste our time with pronouns?

          I can think of only one time I thought a female was a male from their name. It was not a problem. The name was Noel

          Seems like the name argument is no argument at all
