it wasnt that they had a preferred pronoun that i wasnt using(that i knew about anyway) it was that i was referring to someone who i wasnt sure what they identified as, so i said "they" and the person i was talking to was like "wow thats really dehumanizing of you"

then they were being stupid

they is perfectly acceptable for people of unknown gender

you didn't do anything wrong, idk why they reacted like that - unless they're a transphobe, expected you to know their gender/pronouns, and got offended when you couldn't read their mind

lol the person you're talking to heard 'it' is dehumanizing & applied it to 'they' too for some reason

ffs we refer to cis ppl as 'they' in some contexts too, it's a perfectly reasonable thing to call a person unless you're intentionally avoiding their preferred pronoun w/ it
