    None of these terminally online mfers has ever had to deal with being in a room with three dozen trans people and five dozen neopronouns. You can’t come up with a take like “pronoun tags are transphobic” if you’ve ever gone outside and met random trans strangers, ofc you need to introduce pronouns in some way in such a setting when there is a normal number of nonbinary people present and ofc nobody does that with a pronoun circle when it’s not one of these awkward self help group things where anybody is already sitting in a circle and has to do an awkward introduction, which is one of a grand total of two situations irl where i’ve ever been in a pronoun circle. That’s in spite of me hanging out with queer people constantly. And somehow, i do not run around constantly misgendering all the nonbinary people i know. The only way to have this kind of conversation in the first place is when you do not have to look the person you’re having it with in the face.

    The same goes for the reply-hungry weirdo who doesn’t know any gender neutral ways to adress people besides using they / them pronouns. If you want to refer to somebody in an actually gender neutral way, you use the name or say “the person” if you do not know the name. It’s not hard. It’s as if that person has never met anybody who actually doesn’t use pronouns. Like, this site is full of people who have none / use name as a pronoun tag. This entire post was written without a single third person pronoun. How can people be this dense?

      using they / them pronouns

      who have none / use name as a pronoun tag

      This entire post was written without a single third person pronoun

      :smuglord: Ackshually, you used pronouns as examples, so your entire argument is invalid
