#it its pronouns

LOUD repost

*grabs your hands and speaks to you in a tone that is so gentle* they/them pronouns stop being universal once you learn a person's pronouns. Sometimes that person's pronouns will include they/them and in that specific case you are allowed to keep using those pronouns for that person. In any case where you learn a persons pronouns and that person doesn't use they/them, you should no longer use those pronouns for that person. If you continue to use they/them pronouns knowing that person doesn't use them, you are now misgendering that person. Kindly stop doing that please. Thank you, I love you.

reminder that i am only using it/its pronouns from here on out. i'm so tired of people not using them for me- my own close friends even avoid using it for me most of the time in favor of they. i'm tired of people literally avoiding addressing me appropriately. this isn't a matter of personal opinion- it's about correcting inappropriate behavior.

just as you don't question the she/her pronouns used by a cis woman, or the he/him pronouns used by a cis man- don't question anyone who uses it/its pronouns. trans, cis, intersex, or otherwise. it's not a debate. it's not a moral or ethical issue- it's about respect, and being addressed correctly.

i refuse to cave and use "they" so it's "easier" for people. it only takes a little bit of practice. if you are resistant to learning new concepts, you will always have negative reactions when you disrespect someone. that's what this is: disrespect.

some people need to realize that people's identity doesn't harm you, like who cares if someone named bug, who uses cat/it pronouns, identifies as a fox and has xenogenders? like it's not harming you is it? let people live their life, if they are happy and they're not harming anyone or themselves, why does it matter so much? >_< /gen

Them: Why do you use "it" as one of your pronouns? Isn't that dehumanizing?

Me: I got into a game of tag when I was little, I got tagged but could never catch any of the other kids

Them: . . .

Me: So I'm still "it"

“You can’t use It/its pronouns for a person”

When someone knocks at your door one may say “who is *it*”

*It* as in the person at the door.

*It* as in a person.

This is a poll.

This poll is meant exclusively for people who use it/its pronouns in English. If you do not use it/its pronouns in English, you can only use the "show me the results" button, which is the first option AND the last option.

You can use it/its pronouns with combinations of other pronouns and still vote, you just have to actually use it/its themselves in English.

You do not have to be trans or nonbinary to use this poll. The only requirement is that you use it/its pronouns in English.

I'll list the options out here before we get to the poll itself to help those with screenreaders since apparently polls just list all the options at the very bottom of the post:

Option 1: I don't use it/its, show me the results

Option 2: I use it/its, I think they are neopronouns

Option 3: I use it/its, no, I do not think they are neopronouns

Option 4: I use it/its, I do not know if I think they are neopronouns or not

Option 5: I use it/its, I do not care if they are neopronouns or not

Option 6: Option 1: I don't use it/its, show me the results

[Plain text: "If you use it/its pronouns, do you consider it/its pronouns to be neopronouns?" End plain text.]

@it-its-culture-is can you signal boost? Thanks :)

Feel free to reblog even if you don't use it/its!

"i refuse to use it/its pronouns for you because those are used for objects! i'm not dehumanizing you!"

it's literally standard nautical practice to refer to just about any boat or ship ever as "she". people reflexively refer to fucking boats by she/her pronouns and give them women's names. fucking boats

people refer to cars with she and he constantly. people refer to trucks, construction equipment, computers, credit card readers, cell phones, and other objects with he/him pronouns. people AGGRESSIVELY use he/him pronouns for a LOT of animals and insects. if people aren't good at sexing animals or refuse to try a lot of the time they will just use he/him. like, constantly. it's actually honestly more common to hear people use he/him for animals than it is they/them or it/its at times.

your issue isn't that it's used for objects and animals: your issue is that you're transphobic and don't like having to admit it. please just move on and stop getting stuck on it/its sometimes being used for animals and objects. we use she/her and he/him just as much if not MORE for these exact same things. calm down and use the it/its pronouns and respect its users.

"Well but i can't call a human an it--"

My teeth morph into fangs, my fingers curl into claws, my limbs grow longer, spines rip through my clothes and glowing red eyes, too many eyes of fire and darkness stare at you. I am ripping through your flesh, biting, tearing. I'm not human anymore; but you should have respected my pronouns before, when you had the chance.
