*their, not his
And it was a scene of, what, 30 seconds where they stated what their pronouns were, then it was never mentioned again? How is that focusing too much on it?
Unless everyone's a mind reader, nobody's going to know what a person's pronouns are unless they tell them. They did, and that was that.
It was several scenes. Mostly between the doctor and Stamets. More than "30 seconds".
No other character stated their pronouns, so how am I supposed to know everyone elses? The same way people figured it out since day 1. And here's an easy way for us to know. Other characters can call him by it, and then we'll know. Not everything has to be outright stated on camera for the audience to figure it out.
I'm only aware of this scene. What others are there? Stamets misgenders them at 0:09 and they're done with the scene around 0:48, so you're right, it was about 40 whole seconds.
You know you’re never going to get any hard evidence other than surface-level stuff that they can get from their bigot blogs, because bigots hate actually engaging with media.
YouTube is a big part of it too. I sometimes wonder how many people skip the episode and go straight for the rage bait.
I do know. But I think it's worth calling out the absurdity regardless.
