Dear Amy: I have an etiquette question.
To illustrate, I was recently at a church service where I noted that the pastor had removed any reference to God as “Him” or “He,” only referring to this higher power absent of any gender references.
So, to answer your question — if you know that people are male, then refer to them as male: “Gentlemen,” “Sirs,” “Guys,” or whatever suits the occasion best.But if this new way of acknowledging a large number of human beings without reference to gender doesn’t hurt anyone, and may in fact help remind some of our shared humanity, then I’m all for it.My fiancée and I have been together for over five years.
When couples come together and decide to form a family, the idea is that they should walk through life hand-in-hand — as a team. They put their relationship at the center of their lives, with their families orbiting around them.
