Sorry about that. Where in the article did we assume the gender? Looking and I'm not seeing. Not native english speakers though so there may be something we're missing.

"Did you just assume my gender" is generally a throwaway meme by right-leaning trolls these days. It's a caricature of an outraged feminist or non-binary person, not really a sentence you'd normally hear from either of the two groups.

But on a more serious note the article does switch from the neutral "they" to a gendered "he" in at least one place (see the other comment), which is not just unnecessary but also inconsistent. Just stick with "they", unless the person's gender is important (note: it almost never is, even "women's issues" don't require an implicit "she" and using "they" in these cases is actually even more inclusive because it also covers trans men).

Thanks! We'll definitely stick to "they" in the future!

“Problems related to his environment after work” I think is what is being referred to in that comment.

Thanks! Not sure how we missed that.

I think it is the use of the word "fraternal". It means "of or like a brother or brothers", implying male gender.

"be relaxed and relax them too, with a fraternal and understanding tone"

The word "friendly" would have been a simpler synonym in that sentence.

In Star-Trek, "Sir" is gender-neutral.

Thanks! That's much appreciated.
