    Telling My Friend My Pronouns

    I know in the original post I said that I was worried my friend would consider referring to me with it/its pronouns to be rude, but that was not supposed to be an invitation for others to debate whether or not I should use those pronouns. That is not why I made the original post. I made it so...

    Telling My Friend My Pronouns

    If a scientist looks at a person's genetic makeup, they would not find pronouns in it. Biology does not prove what words someone should be referred to as. You claim to "value" everyone here, but if someone here asked you to call them "it" you say that you would not. Not only that, but you say...

    Making a Friend

    There is this girl at my school who has been talking to me a bit lately. A few weeks ago she said that my outfit looked cute, and after we were done working on our project in math today, she asked if she could take a picture with me. I said yes and she explained that it was to show her mom (we...

    Telling My Friend My Pronouns

    I think using it/its pronouns is becoming more accepted among LGBTQ+ people. Many of the LGBTQ+ servers that I have joined on Discord have it/its pronoun roles, and I have seen people on Twitter and Tumblr who state in their bios that they use it/its pronouns. However, the usage of it/its...

    I agree. I was just surprised, because I rarely don't see their name in the list of online members.

    Telling My Friend My Pronouns

    I texted my friend yesterday to test and see what she thought about people using it/its pronouns. I told her that I had heard some people use it/its pronouns and that I thought it was cool. I also said that it is ironic that people refuse to use it/its pronouns for others because they find doing...

    I do not have any desire to be referred to as an object. I just think it/its pronouns sound nice and like to be referred to with them ^w^

    If you think that's hard to follow, you would definitely not appreciate the people who use multiple different pronouns for someone in the span of one sentence. I don't do that because it sounds too clunky and confusing lol

    Telling My Friend My Pronouns

    I see. Being unable to remember multiple pronouns for someone because of cognitive difficulties is perfectly understandable. I know that I would not complain about that, personally. That would be rude of me. I hope my giving an explanation as to how using multiple pronouns works didn't make you...

    Telling My Friend My Pronouns

    Perhaps it is very confusing to non-English speakers, or people who are from different generations, but many English speakers in my generation and some in my parent's generation, from what I have seen, understand how to use multiple pronouns for someone. Also, this specific situation is about a...

    Telling My Friend My Pronouns

    So, by that logic, do you think people who go by she/her should wear pink dresses so they look like a "she" and people who go by he/him should wear blue suits so they look like a "he"?

    Telling My Friend My Pronouns

    Well, as she is a polite person, I don't think it's incredibly likely that she would object, as I know she would want to respect me. However, I've heard that some people refuse to use it/its pronouns for others because they feel that that would disrespect said others, and I am worried that that...

    Telling My Friend My Pronouns

    It is okay to not understand how to use multiple pronouns. I will try my best to explain: Someone who uses multiple pronouns will typically (though not always) want you to alternate between those different pronouns when referring to them. For example, as I use both they/them and it/its...
