Additional Notes

Pronoun Usage: I prefer "she/her" pronouns in most contexts. "They/them" is acceptable but not preferred. Please avoid "he/him" and "it/its" as they are misgendering.

Context Matters: Some terms may be acceptable in certain contexts (like close friends) but not in others (like professional settings). When in doubt, ask or use the most respectful option.

Corrections: If you make a mistake with my pronouns or terms, a quick correction and moving on is appreciated. I understand that mistakes happen, and I appreciate the effort to get it right.
