[It/its pronouns are used for Desire, but not exclusively. I would argue Desire is more often referred to with both feminine and masculine pronouns in the comics, often in succession. This is also usually true with gendered titles (i.e "Sister-brother", "uncle-aunt"). It can also be dependent on who is perceiving Desire as to what pronouns are used. ]
Where in the video was it used?
["Desire was and remained non-binary, though back in the day, Desire was referred to as "it" rather than "they/them" in the Netflix series."]
How would you like to be credited?
[l-lyrium is fine]
Anything else?
In The Sandman: Endless Nights a mortal woman, Kara, mostly refers to Desire with masculine pronouns, although she does express uncertainty about Desire's gender. I also did a quick skim through volumes 1-6 of the mainline comics to get a sense of what pronouns are used to refer to Desire, but I didn't do any type of statistical count of it.
Which video did you find this in?
[Neil Gaiman & Queering Fantasy]
What is the problematic line?
