can cis allies please learn that if someone is one, clearly with a parent, and two, not forth coming about their pronouns/correcting you, it is probably doing more harm than good to stop the conversation mid sentence to ask about their pronouns, especially when you're doing it bc of assumptions you made bc of the way they look

#idk if i phrased that well its definitely a bit clunky #but i am begging cis allies to not randomly ask about pronouns in front of other ppl #brought to you by the lady who just asked me about my pronouns in front of my mother whom im not out to #bc and i fucking quote (loosely) 'i like your hair and i was picking up on something'#like assuming ppl are trans/use other prns based on how they look is just as bad as assuming ppl are cis !!!#stop making gender nonconformity into a third gender !!!#<- annoyed bc she assumed i use they not used it as a form of neutrality but hard assumed those would be my preference #BASED ON HOW I LOOK !!!#i know the joke is colored hair and pronouns but do not genuinely assume ppl w colored hair are automatically non binary #just use they on everyone until corrected or they refer to themselves as something #am i making sense? does this make sense?#can cis allies please understand that its better to just default to they for everyone than ask ppl randomly if they use they prns 😭#my.txt #me.txt
