Has anyone here seen this? I found the gender pronoun thing so silly in the trailer but I’d still like to give it a shot if it’s a good movie.

Why is that silly? You are aware of non-binary as a concept right? It was depicted beautifully.

Or do you mean the concept of non-binary itself is silly?

I meant using “they” as a pronoun.

I have a couple of friends who use that pronoun since they do not want to be referred to as she/he.

It sounded weird to me at first too but then I educated myself and had to unlearn a lot of stereotypes/biases I had. And then I stopped finding it weird.
