I openly use it/its alongside they/he in a queer org i help run irl. Since i figure if im open abt that other people will be less nervous abt asking people to use it/its or neopronouns and shit like that. And i wasnt really expecting people to use it for me, since lotsa people arent comfortable w that and i had other options. And let me tell ya how cool it is to see a newer member show up and just go ‘oh im like you, i use he/it!” And see one of my fellow exec, in a message where she had exactly one pronoun referring to me, use it. Its so fucking nice, let me tell you, i love being Vocally Queer :]

#esp since im in a position with Slightly More Influence (exec member)#i can make sure we’re like. being cool abt Weird Queer People like me who use unusual pronouns #and contradictory/lesser known labels #and i just Love being in a space thats so unabashedly accepting of everyone and anyone #and also having a roommate who’se also queer and each of us knowing we can talk to each other abt this sort of shit. its nice #there wasnt this level of security w the community at my high school bc we were all agencyless teenagers walking a thin line of visibility #and safety. but now im in college and an adult and people are going out of their way to find and support each other #god i dont know what id do if i didnt have this. have people like this #theres some kind of poetry i could write here. abt community and acceptance and the whole concept of pride #but im not much of a poet so ill just. do my part to help keep this legacy going for the people who show up next year #sev rambles
