Neopronouns and the singular they

Singular they/them/their pronouns are appropriate to use in refrence to any perso who goes by them. If a person exclusively goes by neopronouns, such as ze/hir, then singular they should also generally be used instead of neopronouns when referring to that individual, though their neopronouns should usually be mentioned in their biography (in the main prose or in a footnote).

We seem to be in this age where we treat wikipedia as a wholly neutral source of Correct Information when wikipedia is an organization that has many biases and discriminatory practices/policies. Sometimes intentionally and sometimes not. I know it's a pushback against the whole "you can't trust anything on wikipedia because anyone can edit it!!" which is flawed for many reasons. But also wikipedia is very eurocentric and its editors are almost entirely college-educated American or British white people and its "neutrality" policy is an excuse to be very centrist in many ways. I love wikipedia and how accessible it makes information, but unfortunately our teachers were right: it is not the end-all-be-all for information or for learning about a topic. ESPECIALLY if that topic deals with anything outside of usamerica or western Europe.

Last week i was looking into one of my teen's homework when I noticed she was writing words she "wasn't supposed to know" in english (like "furthermore", for example. They only know very intermediary english) I got a bit mad for a second. I wear an "anti-AI" button all the time, i even told them before why i was anti-AI, yet she didn't listen to me and thought she could get away with it... But i decided to keep it cool because i didn't know why she would do this, since she never did.

Okay, one week after, this Wednesday, it was time for their class again and, when she arrived, i told her to come to my desk and asked her: "what is furthermore?" She went pale when she noticed the paper in my hands. I asked again: "darling, what is furthermore?" Then, she shuttered: "I don't know, teacher. I'm sorry, I had to ask Gemini because I had no time..." then I sat her down, she was clearly upset (she is just 13) and I asked her what happened. "I didn't have any time left because of my exams and there were too many units to go through. So I asked my mom to help me and she told me to use ChatGPT but I asked google instead." Okay. So I looked into her eyes and told her it was okay, that she didn't need to be upset, but she would have to re-do that paper and bring it back to me by the next week. I told her she didn't need google or gpt to do her work, because she got a very high score at her english exam (both at school and at the course). She got right back on her feet and we started class as normal.
