Advice from Amy Dickinson.
I’m a young professional in my second year at an office job that I love. I’m also nonbinary – neither a man nor a woman – and my pronouns are the gender-neutral “they/them.”
I have to make choices every day between the discomfort of getting misgendered and the vulnerability of correcting others, and I accept this as part of my daily life as an openly nonbinary individual. My friend “Shari” emailed me about a letter in your column. The letter Shari quoted to me was about the propriety of a friend taking a photo of them while they were eating.
