Yes. Adult females do not want to be infantilized to be called "girls". You don't have to understand it to be a decent human being, you just have to respect it.
Maybe do some reading about women's liberation if you want to understand.

Flying Squid is a stay at home dad and he argues/posts on Lemmy all day, every day. Not sure he knows what grass is.
"It" refers to things. I am a human being.
I use the pronoun that is appropriate for my sex.
I don't agree with the concept of gender. Therefore, I object to being referred to as "cis" or "trans". I have a sexed body and a brain within it that does brain things.
No, I don't identify as agender either. That still is part of the concept of gender.

So... Yes, they did talk to me about their feelings of imposter syndrome, out of a recommendation from someone else (I frequently mentor people at work). Unfortunately this person demonstrates a cluster of traits that means that they cannot acknowledge when they actually aren't good at something. (This person has a history of accomplished parents and education/career "boosts" from diversity goals (I am fine with diversity programs giving a boost to folks who otherwise are passed over, in fact I have benefited from them and I am grateful- the issue in this case is that this person actually isn't talented in this skill area)). I also know from others that this person's work performance is consistently, significantly below expectations in terms of measureable output and achievement of routine tasks that all team members should be able to do. Put these two together and their explanation for their feelings of inadequacy is latching on to the explanation of imposter syndrome. It's not my job nor my place to tell them that this isn't the case (I don't manage them), so at this point, I just try to avoid this person (largely due to the aforementioned cluster of traits).
Sadly, I know someone who thinks they have imposter syndrome, when really they are just incompetent. It's painful.
Is this...Mongolian propaganda? Because the Kahns definitely did a whole lot of subjugating, raping and murdering. Not sure that really fits the "coexist" meme...
