    I think if you wanna make things easier you could just be more generic with your wording. If you don’t know someone’s gender you can say they, and unless you’re doing so many events that you gotta be specific, you can just say the event.

    I understand getting frustrated with the confusion, although I think if you’re approaching it with good intentions then no one should be upset with you.
