since mrs, ms, and mr are all descended from the latin word magister, i propose the gender neutral version should be mg, short for "mage"

[apolloendymion]

some people think this is a shitpost so i want to clarify that i am dead fucking serious. make mage the official gender neutral honorific NOW. i want it on my passport. i want it on my bank account. i want doctors and judges to use it for me. i don't care if it sounds a little silly. people thought "missus" sounded crass at first. call me mg.

[apolloendymion]

benefits of mg:

easy to pronounce, even for children (though kids 4 & younger may pronounce it more like "mayd" or "maygh")

ONE SYLLABLE!!! ("individual" is too goddamn LONG.) you have to be able to say it quickly and casually

ends in a soft consonant sound, so it'll flow right into the next word ("ind" halts the whole sentence)

fits neatly into the existing structure as a relative of master/mistress that can be abbreviated down to an m and one other letter

distinct enough that it can't be mistaken for either gendered term (if you call me mix I'll kill you. it sounds like miss with extra steps)

wizard.

drawbacks:

there aren't any

yes, i know about milligrams and magnesium. i don't give a shit. ms can also mean microsoft. who cares.

real talk i have become a problem recently. the hospital wanted my fingerprint and i said no. the receptionist was like: but its such a convenient way to check in! and i said ok i dont want you to have my biometric data. and she was so baffled. i said, can you not check me in using an id card?

well of course but dont you want to provide your biometric data for your convenience?

nope thanks!

[juneiper-art]

fuck this happened again i was buying some LPs and the clerk was like: can i have your email? and i was like no.

she full on stared at me. she was like: but i need to put you into the system.

and i was like: need to? you NEED to? i don't want to give my email

and she was like: but...how are you going to return items without an account?

and i was like, with a fucking receipt??? wtf is going on right now. if i can't return them i guess i'll die??whatever

[tater-tot-pot-dish]

went to buy guitar strings. a $5 purchase. dude at the counter asked for my name. then my address.

"why do you need my address?"

"to put you in our system."

"you don't need to put me in your system. i am buying a product. i am going to give you money for that product, and then i am going to leave. that's all you need to know."

"well it won't let me check you out w/o putting you in our system."

"so you don't want to make a sale today?"

"i'm going to have to get my manager to over ride this...."

"do that then."

dude looked SO fucking confused that i was refusing to give him my fucking home address to make a $5 purchase of fucking guitar strings.

I feel like the fact that whenever exorsexism is brought up, so many people feel the need to comment things like "oh hahaha i misread that as exorcism" or "lol i thought we were talking about exorcists" is exorsexism?

Like, im cognitively disabled, I understand misreading things and being a little silly about it to cope, especially if you're misreading a lot of words every day. Like, thats a little demotivatinh, might as well laugh about it and move on.

But EVERY TIME without fail that exorsexism is brought up by name, a whole slew of binary trans/cis people come out of the woodworks to laugh about what its called. It feels weird to me and I cant tell if im just sensitive to it cuz it also sorta feels like they're making fun of people who misread things a lot but yeah.

This is exorsexism.

People love to nitpick the terms used by non-binary people. People love to mock our language.

I hear shit like "nibling and pibling sounds so childish" (when nibling has been a term that has existed for a very long time and wasn't even made by enben, and pibling is based off of it.)

I hear things like "joyfriend? datefriend? enbyfriend? enfriend? those sound stupid, do you even want to be taken seriously?"

I hear people make fun of our gender identities (ie; xenogenders.) I hear people make fun of our orientation terms and say "why don't you just call yourself lesbian/uranian/straight/gay/etc?" (while simultaneously telling us that we cannot identify with those labels because they aren't "for us" - we can never win.)

People make jokes with our pronouns, especially when it's neopronouns.

We can't even have our identities taken seriously, and get called a "a little they" and a "silly them." Not a person, not an enban, not an enby, a they. Which is both infantilizing and incorrect (since not all enben use they/them pronouns.)

And, with people laughing at how they misread the word exorsexism, it is yet another piece of evidence that our oppression is never taken seriously.

my mom’s trans allyship is on another level

[joeyclaire]

she once called my friend’s deadname “that stupid thing his mom calls him”

[asideoftrashplease]

I was once talking to my 75 year old Chinese dad in passing about a trans friend of mine not getting along with her family and he asked why and I said err, because she's trans, dad.

He asked: "Oh, was she the only son or something before *waves hand*?" and I was like, warily, no she has two brothers. And he responded with a great deal of confusion: "Then what's their problem?!?!"

Later on: "Anyway, even if she WAS the only son, that's not her problem, that's THEIR problem. They should have had more sons if they were going to be bothered about it."

[jackdaw-kraai]

Knowing what I know about chinese culture there’s something so beautifully simple about his logic of “no son to carry on family name/look after them in old age/all the other stuff? Skill issue! Should’ve had more sons! Should’ve kept the family unit strong yourself! Blaming your daughter for your own failure of family planning is W E A K!” and then he learns there are more sons and it completely breaks his train of logic because if yes to more sons then why issue?? You have two others and you’re mad you don’t have three?? Whack. Greedy.

I can already envision him as an ancient lord of a powerful house looking down his nose at the latest messenger bringing gossip from the house of his offspring’s friend and going “now they have a daughter to marry into another family for powerful alliances and two sons to take over her former duties and somehow they’re still complaining about their good fortune? They shall not survive the winter.” and then sipping his tea with all the grim satisfaction of someone about to watch an unnecessary soap opera of drama unfold from a safe distance or something
