They/them Pronouns?[edit]

This article appears to have elected to use they them pronouns, but I’m not entirely sure why. All resources that I can find suggest that Anson uses he/him pronouns.

for example, this article from this year from UCL where Anson worked (until recently)

https://www.geog.ucl.ac.uk/news-events/news/emeritus-professor-mackay-recognised

He/him pronouns are also used in David Adger’s (spouse) book, Language Unlimited, p. 170

I’ll leave this thread up for a while, it’s possible that other contributors know information I don’t, but after a time I’ll edit the article WikiLover01 (talk) 03:49, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
