I had an encounter with an individual who appears to be neither that I have become familiar with when addressing your kind. To be allied to your species, it seems appropriate to be aware of this knowledge.
Ah, I see where the confusion is. I'm definitely not any kind of expert, but sometimes, there are people who don't feel like they're either male or female... and there are quite a few different identities out there. The person you encountered--it's a lot more common than you'd think, actually. Ultimately, it comes down to how someone feels and sees themselves more than biology.
Yes. This will increase my understanding of your species.
[It's along the lines of what Lance said too. It's complicated and up to the individual. That's all he really needs to know honestly since that at least tells him how the humans operate in regards to this.]
I will keep your words in mind for the future.
[That's his way of saying thank you. It's just as obvious as when he tried with Lance.]
Hah, well... I don't know if it's more of a human thing, but... Personally, I keep in mind that reassurance is something we require sometimes, especially when it comes to rough situations.

My messages are always open if you need anything else, by the way.

[..........okay and for him too. Definitely for him.]

But it's nice to have a reminder sometimes.

I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.
Do you?
