Darcy Vescio has an announcement

[kruddler]

Obviously  we spend a lot less time discussing the women's competition than we do the men's.
It's probably not that difficult a task to make those they/her adjustments for Darcy...especially while the season hasn't started
I'm wondering whether we'd afford a prominent  member of our AFL men's  team identifying as binary the same level of 'respect' during lengthy in season discussions.
Some of us may, but when does it become too much of a chore, and do we have different standards for biological males and females.
What if Darcy was a fringe player without the profile. Would we still make the effort because it's unlikely that Darcy will be the last player to take this position. It makes things like forum discussions very difficult with different terms for different players.
Given that it's doubtful too many players are avid readers of CSC does it matter a great deal if we stick to the He for the Male  comp and She for the female comp.

I don't know about you Lods, but i was the one who posted the darcy announcement and i would've posted it if it was player #30 on our list too.

Same with the men.

They are all human and all deserve to be treated as such, regardless of how good they are at footy.

Its a forum and people will write what they wanna write and that includes whatever pronouns they wanna use, but i'll be trying my best to get them right. Doesn't matter if players read this, or their families, or whoever, but perhaps one of our posters feels the same way as Darcy, by ignoring Darcys wishes, you are (potentially) disrespected other posters.

We all know a rival club captain used to frequent here and has family who do too, if they were thinking of following suit (just an example) how would that make their family members feel?
