Given that Kazi is a nonbinary linguist, I bet they have some detailed thoughts on gendered language:
Kazi: Technically, I don't "use" they/them pronouns because I rarely talk about myself in the third person, so it's more accurate to say, I use I/me as my pronouns and other people use they/them pronouns for me. I used to use he/him because there is linguistic precedent for "he" as a non-gendered pronoun, but then I worried that it would be confusing, so I switched to they/them, which, by the way, has been in use as a singular pronoun for over four centuries! I briefly used "ze" but then I realized that "ze" and "she" look similar for people who rely on lipreading, because the difference between Z and S is really just a difference in voiced versus unvoiced oral sibilants, and if I'm serious about working as an interpreter, I want to make sure my pronouns are clear to the people I'm working with. So I usually just tell people to use they/them. Anyways, what are your pronouns?
Amaya: [points at herself]
Kazi, nodding seriously: That makes sense.
Janai: What the fuck are you two talking about?

So far I couldn't find any videos on Amaya's signing in Season 5, but the way Kazi stammers and hesitates here makes me suspect that Amaya just dropped an F-bomb. 🙃

I love reading the birthday posts on the official site because of the tonal wiplash. It'll be all funny and wholesome like "awweee Kazi's parents give them a gift basket 🥺🥺🥺 Ava ate Ellis' pie XDDD" and then you'll check the next one and it'll be "Aaravos does not count the passage of time in minutes, nor hours, not even days — he counts candles, one after the other, burning themselves down to the wick and a puddle of hot wax." and like jesus dude what happened to Amaya and her sparring matches

Kazi: She's drunk.
Callum: And?
Kazi: She heard Amaya was married.
Callum: She's Amaya's wife?
Kazi, sighing: I know.
