It is funny how so many forget things like "person" exist, don't bother to look up enby/enbie or like, don't come up with their own cute thing.

Especially in some spaces: good cat, good bear, good fox, good bot etc world work well.

    The problem with good person is:

    Are you a good girl? = OwO

    Are you good boy? = OwO

    Are you a good person? = hmm

    Feels a bit more philosophical.

    Yeah. Girl and Boy, are not just about masc/fem gender, they are also a bit of a cute infantilization.

    "Person", carries an unsexy amount of respect.

    We're not culturally at a stage where "Kid" can be used without mental connections to the real violence, I think.

    My bet for the best available workaround, would probably be to just let the word stand on its own:

    "Have you been good?"

    "You're so good for me ❤️"

    "Oh my god how good can you be, so cute 🥰"
