What should I use to reference you? he? she?
my pronouns.page profile interpretation:
- By default, use
he/him. - If we are close enough (as determined by ME), I believe pronouns stop meaning
that much to me (see remarks below), and therefore you have my
blessing to use either one of
he/him,she/her, orthey/themas you feel like.- I still find it hard to get used to the new-ish pronouns like
zewhich is confusing to me (at best), so I ask you NOT to use it. - Basic rule of thumb is, if you have to ask yourself or me if we are close enough, you are not.
- If you think we are 'close enough' but not completely sure, you can just ask and I'll make the determination for you.

Remarks
Korean language does not make use of gender-based pronouns that much when it
comes to referring someone else (our names are generally short enough that does
not need any compression - we can just refer to someone else by $firstname
prepended by gender-neutral form of sir/madam.) so I find English pronouns to be
a bit confusing. This means it might be confusing both to me and to you.
Sorry if you are confused.
