Similar experience for my first time having they/them pronouns used IRL… I was mountain biking in full body armor, full face helmet, and goggles. Someone said to their kid, “let them go ahead, they’ll be really fast,” or something. I proceeded to hit 48km/h on singletrack, a speed I haven’t replicated since. So I guess I was given a speed boost by the comment?

You got the Celeste dash for a moment from being gendered correctly :)
