Drop "sir" "madam" "lady" etc because they are offensive, sexist & outdated. Headline is an example of rage baiting, when it's not just an initiative for trans ppl, but better for everyone. Certainly better for women to drop sexist terms defined by marriage status and assumed relationship to a man.

51k "likes" for this, & over 160k followers. I can assure you this man has NO "lesbian homies"; he cannot stand that women choose not to choose men, & he's curious as to the reasons why. Like many men, he worries the answer is in the mirror; but the real terror is that it's nothing to do with you.
