Xir, not so subtly, kept steering the conversation in a direction to refer to itself as "she" or have a reason to say "as a woman". Not sure if it was testing me or what but I just avoided pronouns and any potential banana peels.
You're still going to get sued for 5M though.

There's this woman in another department whose name is Maria José (pretty normal feminine name). When I emailed her I called her Maria but she signed as Jose :scared: am I fired?

Isn't that Monk Lo Phai? I hear he's pretty chill.

Maria João is a thing in Portugal too. And yeah, sometimes to discriminate themselves from the 46 other Marias they work with in the office, they will go by the masculine João for short sometimes. But then it's more like calling someone by their last name. (And while she probably works with 37 Joãos in the office, odds are she's one of only 2-3 women who go by that.)
