Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde Resurface on Twitter with a New Woke Request on ‘Their’ Pronouns

Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde have long maintain her own Twitter accounts.  Their style is different.  Both are brilliant scientists. But Dr. Jekyll? It is low key savage. Mr. Hyde? She’s a diva bitch. The scientific community never quite forgave them for their unsanctioned lab work in cloning, sewing together body parts, electrocution – but, She/It still maintain decent careers as influencers.

So, last week’s Twitter firestorm seemed inevitable.  Rotten, old-school, wealthy white males have, since the first edition of the book, referred to Dr. J & Mr. H both as he/him, and when plural, they!  Dinosaurs!!? Bigots!?!  It & She took to their Twitter followers to explain the desired pronouns.  Dr. Jekyll: It/Its; Mr. Hyde: She/her;  and if you MUST bucket them together, please use She-it, into the She-it bucket.
