    That’s not what I meant. Our brains are programmed to make as complete an image of a person as possible when first meeting them, including all attributes that can be inferred from their exterior.

      Oh, easily fixed: If you aren’t able to tell if someone identifies as Masculine or Feminine; there’s a solid chance that they’re Non-Binary. If you aren’t sure though, its always safe to refer to and think of someone as “They/Them” and Non-conforming to traditional gender roles.

        I can’t do that, actually, since there are no gender-neutral pronouns in German. Btw, traditional gender roles are nonsense, anyways.

          Oh interesting! I was unaware that German didn’t contain gender neutral pronouns. Is German a gender heavy language similar to Spanish?

            Couldn’t say since I don’t speak Spanish, but in German, every article is gendered. Though unlike English we have a third gender, neutrum.
