I've deliberately waited to see exactly where this conversation was going before I got out my stick and stirred it up again, but y'all got downright boring, so here it is...
As the Mastress (MASTer-mistRESS, not mattress though I do feel like a carpet as I get walked on so often

), but as the Mastress of "all things Not-100%-agreed-upon" it behooves me to proclaim the following announcement:
Henceforth and forthwith, all things not 100% agreed upon must be discussed ad nauseum until such a time as the non-agreeing parties reach a definite conclusion or until we run out of smart-ass comments and it becomes boring.
Additionally, any such party that contends that all gendered or non-gendered persons, regardless of labels or non-labels, must look, act, speak and/or behave in a consistent or predetermined manner should be ridiculed until they cry or recant their assertions...with the exception of the Mastress of things not 100% agreed upon who is allowed to issue an occasional proclamation while performing the duties of their assigned position. (Hopefully that allows me not to get in trouble for the preceding paragraphs.)
Thank you for your attention. Had this been an actual proclamation, you would have been instructed which thread to tune to in your area in order to obtain further instructions.
