Standing Wheeljack

I know it varies person to person so I wanted to kind of know what would be best

to be honest, I'm unsure how else to say it other than. Not gendered language. I.E., "dude, bro, girliepop," etc are a no. Same with "mech" in place of man. (See: the countless transneutral, transfem, and transmasc people expressing how those terms are not as gender neutral as one might think, even if the person saying it "does it for everyone, even cis people").

I have it in my pinned post, shredhead is canonically nonbinary and uses they/them. And, as longarm mod pointed out in their addition to the previous post about it, it's not hard to look up gender neutral language, and it's not hard to find gender neutral language that fits each character. That, in my eyes, is enough point of reference.

If you want to know what I, Mod Sol, prefer for myself: I would say neutral or masculine language; and for pronouns the only ones I don't like are she/her. Other than that I use anything so long as it's not, like, a slur or something. Get creative.

and finally, and this isn't just directed at you, nonbinary people aren't this nebulous concept where you need to tiptoe around us for fear of misgendering. If you say something they don't like being called, reflect, apologize, respond accordingly and respectfully, and do better in the future. Do not, and I mean this, self flaggulate and make the apology about your guilt. You're putting the person you hurt in the position of needing to comfort you, instead of respecting them and their wishes, and ensuring that they can still be comfortable as themselves around you.

and for the love of GOD, PRIMUS, AND ANYTHING THAT YOU LOVE IN THIS WORLD, STOP APOLOGIZING ON ANON INSTEAD OF DIRECTLY.

Shredhead is not a fucking boy nor girl they're non-binary they've only ever been referred to with they/them pronouns by other characters AND by the writers.

They're non-binary. Yes I drew them in a dress/more femininely because it was a fucking magical girl bit and non canonical. If I have more opportunities to draw them I might make them more masculine. But at the end of the day they don't have a canonical holoform design. And as IDW showcases a character's holoform can present differently than their normal appearance.

I've never used anything except for they/them for shredhead. I've said it in the intro post they're canonically non-binary. I don't know how people keep missing that. I'm not answering nor replying to asks or threads that use anything other than they/them for them, nor with any gendered terminology such as "boy" or "girl" even if it's in a joking capacity.

I'm sick of this. They are one of the only two nonbinary characters in this entire fucking franchise and still they get misgendered so heavily by the community.

call me a buzzkill for "overreacting" on a tumblr roleplay blog but if this behavior keeps up then I'm not using this character in any capacity other than their gimmick of standing.
