https://www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-grimes-pronouns-gender-neutral-1520459Elon Musk was scolded on social media by his partner, the musician Grimes, after he sent a tweet that appeared to disparage the use of gender neutral pronouns.
In a tweet on Friday, the Tesla CEO added a red rose emoji to his Twitter name used as a symbol for the Democratic Socialists of America and wrote the message "pronouns suck." Underneath the message, Grimes wrote in a tweet that has since been deleted: "I love you but please turn off ur phone or give me a dall. I cannot support hate. Please stop this. I know this isn't your heart (sic)."
A screen shot of her message has been reported by a number of media outlets.
In May, the couple announced the birth of their first child together, whom they named X Æ A-XII Musk. Grimes, real name Claire Boucher, has said that they will opt for a gender-neutral parenting style, telling fans on YouTube in February: "I don't want to gender them in case that's not how they feel in their life."

because he/she has chosen some sort of androgynous, duel identity.
I'm like.... I'll just always use your name instead of a pronoun.... OK, Pat?

"Hi, my name's Melissa, and this my brother, Greg. What's your name?"
"My name is X Æ A-XII, but most people just call me X."
"Uhhh, sure, X. See ya around...."
What a cruel thing to do to a child.

At least a stupid crazy person like Trump keeps putting his foot in his mouth, so he'll lose in a landslide.
