#pronoun nonconformity

[uncanny-tranny]

Honestly, I think it's cool to see cis people adopt and use "nonconforming" pronouns. I saw a cis man state their pronouns were they/them, and I think that's awesome that they're forthcoming with that! I think a lot of cis people think pronoun nonconformity excludes them, but they're completely wrong! Pronoun nonconformity is literally for anybody. If you are a they/them cis man, that's fucking awesome! There will be people who will respect you, and it isn't a world-ending request to be addressed correctly

Shut up!

I am a MAN and I use SHE/HER and there is nothing you can do about it

These are super masculine pronouns okay

Did the whole "Don't hate what you don’t understand" lesson we were taught a million times over in children's movies go over people's heads?

This is how we should be acting

Oh, you're Muslim?

That's awesome, I'm always so inspired by your creativity in fashion!

You're pagan, and worship several pantheons at once?

That must be a lot of work! That's impressive!

You're a girl but you use he/him pronouns?

Alright, it doesn't inconvenience me at all to respect that, and it's interesting.

You're cupiromantic, so you don’t feel romantic attraction, but you still want to do romantic things?

I don't see how that's any different than an ace person who enjoys sex, or even an allo person using a dating sim game, so go right ahead!

You're a therian that physically identifies as your theriotype?

That's fascinating, how does that work?

You identify as robotkin?

That's sick as hell, tell me more!

None of these things affect me personally, and none of them inherently harm anyone. Can we please treat things with curiosity instead of anger?

i think it's awesome when cis people use any pronouns. when a cis guy is like "idc if people call me she or they or whatever" and genuinely means it that's fucking awesome. i love you

I remember my mum was friends with a "gender counselor". And that said gender counselor talked me out of being nonbinary and into being a trans man. I assumed that since they were a professional they had to be right. So I started wearing my binder more often. Almost every day in fact. Sometimes for more than 8 hours because I felt so dysphoric (don't do this. I ended up with chronic costochondritis). I dressed masc. I got an endocrinologist so I could start T. I tried changing my voice through vocal training videos. I got a top surgery referral. I was doing everything I thought was right.

I was miserable.

It took years to undo the brainwashing she put me through. Making me something I was not. Making me second-guess everything about my identity. It was horrific. She would constantly use he/him pronouns for me. She would constantly refer to me as a man. And she would correct others if they used they/them pronouns for me.

After she was arrested I spent some time really thinking. Why was I so dysphoric all the time? I stared unraveling the rope she used to tie me up. And I found that she was wrong about me. I wasn't a trans man at all. I was nonbinary! The identity I started with. I started using they them pronouns again. I let people know that I wanted to be referred to with gender-neutral terms.

I feel so much more confident in myself.

So I guess the moral of the story is don't let anyone tell you who you are. You know yourself best. Your identity is your journey. Don't let others move you in directions you feel uncomfortable with. You'll be alright. You've got this.

Using right pronouns and gender terms for yourself is a form of self-care the same way using gender terms and pronouns for yourself that bring you suffering is a form of self-harm.

“They want me to use these pronouns, but they aren’t even trying to pass”

I don’t care, respect them.

“He/him lesbians wtf?”

That’s fine, If that makes him comfortable. I don’t care.

“Neo pronouns are dumb”

I don’t care, it doesn’t affect you.

“But they are taking resources away from actual trans people”

No they are not, that is a dumbass statement.

“They are making the trans community look bad/this is why they hate us”

Also a dumb statement, stop punching down at your own community to please transphobes who are going to hate you no matter what.

Shouts out to the folks getting misgendered during the holidays, and to all the folks who have to listen to their family’s spout homophobic and transphobic shit. I love you. Remember the bathroom is a great place to take a five minute break and no one will question you. I’m thinkin about you and I hope the holidays aren’t too stressful and you have some peace. I see you.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 💙💗🤍💗💙

shout out to mfs with no pronouns at all

we rly said: don't refer to me. matter of fact, don't perceive me at all

[chaos-in-one]

No one:

Me: Makes my character really feminine and then sets the pronouns to he/him

You should respect someone's pronouns even if you think that person's looks "don't match" those pronouns 🤍💗💙🤎🖤❤🧡💛💚💜

You should respect someone's gender even if you think that person's looks "don't match" that gender 🤍💗💙🤎🖤❤🧡💛💚💜

i will never forget about the time i went to the mall with two of my friends and during lunch one of them came out to my mom as nonbinary. so when we stood up to leave after we finished eating my mom said "alright, let's get our shop on, they/thems!"
