I think that if a person identifies sufficiently as a woman to be using the term "Ladyship," it is probably safe to assume that we can say, "Her Ladyship" and reserve the use of the gender-neutral "Their" to use with "Lordship" for those that require it, no?

Gender terms
Currently the article reads thus:
"His/Their Lordship" or "Her/Their Ladyship"
I think that if a person identifies sufficiently as a woman to be using the term "Ladyship," it is probably safe to assume that we can say, "Her Ladyship" and reserve the use of the gender-neutral "Their" to use with "Lordship" for those that require it, no?

- I get where you're coming from, but I interact with someone in one of my Facebook groups who falls into the category you mentioned. They identify as non-binary, and use gender-neutral pronouns as much as possible. Whenever faced with situations that only afford traditionally male/female options, they choose the female. It is the sex they were born as, and it's the option that feels "most correct" of the two. We currently have a peer who is in a similar boat but feels that the male is the better fit for them, even though they are still an Enby. This guidance is also pulled directly from the Constitution. I personally consulted with a half-dozen different people who were trans, enby, or gender-queer during the writing process to make sure we got parts relevant to their experience as right as we could manage, at the time. This falls in line with their input.--DukeBearPeninsula (talk) 14:34, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
