Your Pronouns?

[Palamon]

Yes, pronouns, not gender. Since, you can see what gender people are through their profile. Rather than asking if you're a boy or a girl, what are your pronouns? Since not everyone's genders and pronouns match anymore. And this is an optional question, but what do you think of these neoself pronouns? (Xe/xem/xer is a good example.)

I think tumblr and the like have made things waaaay too confusing.. a lot of these pronouns seem unnecessary to me and I can't understand them, though of course I ultimately respect people's preferences. I'm a she. Very old school. x'D

Im a regular guy. He, him, his etc. And personally, I agree with sheep to a degree. I more think Tumblr has made people oversensetive. In the real world, you don't walk around wearing a badge with your pronouns. You don't expect people to say trigger warning before they say anything.

I get that people will disagree with me, but I live by the philosophy 'Don't be an effort'. If people have to go above and beyond the normal to stop you having a hissy fit, then you are being an effort in my eyes.

I'm just going to say right now that I absolutely cannot stand nounself pronouns. It's like, do you really think I'm going to take you seriously? Or anyone, for that matter? Gender. Is. Not. A. F***ing. ACCESSORY.

[Belinda]

I'm a she simple as that. People can use whatever pronouns they wish.

I dont actually care that much about pronouns I use. Im a non cis person(genderfluid I know this isnt about gender but I felt I needed to specify), but usually dont have perferred ones. She/Her is fine usually and They/Them is always acceptable for me. I usually dont get too bothered what people refer to me as. However if I asked a certain pronoun used, Id like it to be respected. If you mess up, dont worry about it too much, but Id like people to make an effort when I want a certain pronoun used. It isnt difficult. Really if you're having trouble though, please just use They/Them for me.

I dont care what pronouns others use. Its not my business or my place to tell people what they should go by. I feel thats very rude and inappropriate and really its not hurting anybody if someone uses something thats maybe a bit "nontraditional"

[Palamon]

They/them, and only they/them. Do not use any other pronouns on me. I'm not a male or a female, I'm neither. Just because I use a pink font color, doesn't mean I identify as a girl, that's just to make my posts unique and stand out-ish.

I'm okay with neoself pronouns, and I will call you by them if you use them. I'm all for respecting what people want to be called, because I'm not cisgender myself. Let kids use what they want. =/

[SassySnivy]

You can't get upset if someone accidentally misgenders you.

And I dislike neopronouns for the sole reason that they are ridiculous and make the trans community look silly / bad. :| They aren't even based off of anything except nouns. What do half of these neopronouns even have ANYTHING to do with gender?

Gender is a social construct, but it's based on sex.

Agender, genderfluid, etc. are all a thing. But when you start saying you're plantgender, it's ridiculous

You can identify with what you want, but I can still think neopronouns are ridiculous. I'm not including gender neutral, agender, etc pronouns like the xir pronouns. Tbh I think those are great.

Edit: I learned that neopronouns are a little different than nounself pronouns. The latter is the kind I hate that's insulting. The former is whatev

[Vishnal]

I think both neopronouns and nounselves are a load of bull crap invented by Tumblrites or similar people who wanted to further their "Special Snowflake" status. If you use either when referring to yourself I will think you an idiot but will also refer to you the way you want since I'd rather not start any arguments. If you get pissy because I referred to you by the wrong gender despite not knowing otherwise, then I shall think you an ignoramus sissy who gets "triggered" by every little thing.

Anyway, online I'm cool with either he/him or she/her since I sometimes hide my gender (as I am here (granted, a number of people here know my actual gender)). I've even thought about getting a sex change since I'm unsure whether I'm comfortable with my body.

EDIT: Just thought about this now, but I should probably clarify something—if you refer to yourself as she/her, he/him, or they/them even if it doesn't match your biological gender, I am totally cool with that. (Unless you get mad if I get it wrong accidentally/unknowingly... I'll correct myself, but I won't think well of you.)

I find pronouns other than the basic ones confusing. Online, it's hard enough to tell if someone could be female or male let alone something else and then trying to pick the right pronouns. I can understand wanting to be called by certain things and would try to respect someone wanting to be called "they", but I don't know any pronouns other than the ones in regular real-life use and probably wouldn't remember to call someone by a random foreign (to me) word. :(

I'm cisgender, so I go by he/his pronouns. When I do drag, I'd have no problem being called by female pronouns, though (I typically refer to drag queens by she/her pronouns if they have no preference, otherwise I call them by their preference). I'm adamant about using the right pronouns and respecting desired pronouns, though. I don't see it as my place to decide what someone should be referred to as, and I don't feel as if I should judge someone for their preferred pronouns. I think it's horribly disrespectful to use non-preferred pronouns purposefully if you know them. I could totally understand getting upset if you're not called by your desired pronouns (I probably wouldn't lash out at the offender, but you never know what someone else is going through - it could be a huge trigger to be called by a pronoun you don't want to be called by).

I just don't understand why some people are so adamant about disregarding pronouns and using biological sex ("but what does your birth certificate say?") to demonize the non-cis, even though sex and gender are not related (especially if you're not cis)...It's so discourteous.

[Neo Emolga]

I'll admit, I first saw this thread and was totally confused about the topic, hence why I didn't reply right away.

I'm a guy, I use male pronouns, nothing else to it. I can't really understand why anyone would use different pronouns and skew around the English language and confuse everyone else they talk to. If you're a guy, use guy pronouns. If you're a girl, use girl pronouns. If you don't know the other person's gender, just be honest and ask.

[Sieses]

My pronouns are whatever a person happens to refer to me as in any given situation. Considering that I have a beard, it's unlikely that I'll ever really be referred to as a girl, but I have no issues with it should that occur at some point. Have been pretty chill about that sort of thing.
