Let's listen to the text and make sure we understand the main ideas.
First let's have a look at a brief introduction on what we are getting ourselves into today.
Key points in the video:
- Jake is a non-binary person (not strictly a man or a woman)
- In the English language pronouns "he" and "she" are used for men and women
- If you do not know the gender (sukupuoli) of a person, you can use the pronoun "they". It is gender-neutral.
- Gender identity (sukupuoli-identiteetti) is nowadays more complicated, and not everyone feels comfortable with being called "he" or "she"
- You can't always tell by their looks how people feel about their gender
- Using "they" when talking about just one person is already normal in English. (For example: Somebody left their bag in class)
- Neopronouns never caught on (eivät saaneet suosiota)
- Standard language changes according to how people use it

Dear Marsha
I would be happy if you apologized to me. Actually, if you bought me flowers to say sorry, it might be nice. You could even buy me something more meaningful. I think your friends wouldn’t make stupid jokes about me if you didn’t encourage them. If I didn’t love you, I would be walking away right now and not writing this note. Should I give you another chance or not? Not sure. I have feelings, too.
