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?
I'll try my best too Kruds.
I'm just pointing out that in the greater scheme of things while it is just an individual, folks may try their best...as it becomes more than just one or two players folks will just drop back or look to different labels.
Imagine a situation where you're talking about our forward line (men's or women's team) and half the group identify as binary,.
Try juggling your pronouns then.
Noble thoughts, but practically it will require a big effort. It's one that most folks wouldn't bother trying.
It would stifle discussion.
It's for each individual to determine how they approach this, as I said where Darcy is concerned I'll try my best.
But a poster shouldn't be judged by the pronouns they choose to use.
