Robin Mackay

This case is so stupid and obviously a “trans for clout” situation that it feels silly to even belabor myself documenting it, but it’s still a relevant case for the study here. So – here we go.

I don’t know when the philosopher and Urbanomic publisher Robin Mackay started doing the nonbinary thing. On the Urbanomic site, Robin is still referred to with “he” pronouns, while in more recent citations, the academic has been referred to with “they” pronouns. Who know what the fuck is going on?
