My pronouns are dude/dude. I seriously care not. I find getting offended at someone getting your pronouns wrong stupid snowflake behavior.

People like the person who claims to be a 'qeerosexual gendermancer' need a reality check.

I'm just a simple he/him.

While we're at it, people who flip shit over pronouns are honestly lame as hell. If someone wants to be referred to as a singular they, then just do that. You're not losing out on anything. You're just making the person you're speaking to feel more seen and respected.

"Uhh, you're enabling their made-up delusions-" Language is made up. You live in a world where you have to accumulate funny paper and exchange it for goods and services in order to live. None of this shit makes sense. If someone choosing their preferred pronouns helps them make sense of their own identity, then I think that's valid and I respect that. Simple courtesy and respect.

Neopronouns or whatever are kinda wacky though, I'll admit. But maybe I'm just not woke enough. I'll happily be schooled on what the point of them is, or if even the non-binary community thinks they're wacky.

So neopronouns are just the gendered form of pronouns beyond the binary. For example, while someone who is, some form of genderqueer. They may not feel comfortable with he/him because it assumes that they are just male. But since they align with their chosen gender, they also don't like the gender neutral they/them. As such they might want to use something that more reflects themself or their identity and want to be called Xe/Xem/Xyr or Ze/Zer/Zers.

As for if LGBTQ communities think they are wacky? I've seen some complaint for noun-self pronouns. Which is something like doll/dollself. The reason being is that they are more regularly used as jokes and are then used to make a joke of the transgender community. For the pronouns that actually do help either genderqueer and or neurodivergent? I haven't noticed complaints beyond not understanding the usage or pronunciation.


I'll still just think of the people as any pronouns they wish, by using the wrong pronouns all it does is intentionally harm or annoy. Especially for a group of people at the most risk of phobia, hate, and abuse.

Two of my favorite jokes are pronoun based.

What's the pronouns for a binary serial killer? They/Them.

And

If you keep it up, I'll make your pronouns Was/Were.


But me.. I'm she/her but honestly, I don't care what anyone uses towards me. Now, if you mess up my actual name, then I get cranky. Especially if you're sending me an email response that has my damn name in the freaking signature.... but I digress.

Yo that's actually informative. Thanks for that. I did some cursory reading as well and came out with a better understanding of neopronouns. Also, I'm sorry if my use of the word "wacky" came across as disrespectful. I intended to convey that I had a hard time wrapping my head around the concept at first glance, but my wording definitely could've been better.

Hard agree on that last point. It's no skin off anyone's back to just respect the person in front of you.
