[sigh] Apparently it's time for my Personal Statement yet again:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ PERSONAL STATEMENT ~
I hereby declare that I am not a "hetero cismale".
I am a normal heterosexual man; proudly XY.
My preferred pronouns are:- xy/xym/xyz
- which are pronounced: he/him/his.
I politely request that those of a different persuasion
should kindly respect my fundamentally male nature.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the avoidance of giving offence, Doc, what are /your/ pronouns?
To answer your question on Gordon's behalf at his request: where he
chooses to reside is a matter for him and him alone; besides, you're
wrong about him being "imprisoned in zher gizzard".
Furthermore, Gordon is quite capable of answering for himself
whenever he chooses. I think it's unlikely that he would deign to
treat a question like yours as a serious enquiry made in good faith.

My pet rock Gordon is ungendered.
