Traditional pronouns are valid,
Gender neutral pronouns are valid. Neo pronouns are valid.
But emoji aren’t fucking pronouns. This is one of the only cases where I’ll call something lgbtq+ attention seeking. If you don’t feel comfortable with he/she/they, that’s what neo pronoums are for. There is NO WAY in hell anyone feel validated/feel euphoria with being refered as with an emoji pronoun. I’ve seen somewhere it was to challenge gender norms. But this is just giving the lgbtq+ community a bad name. Want to challenge gender norms ?Just don’t comply to your gender’s stereotype. Don’t fucking give our community a bad name. ‘‘But Jay, why is it giving it a bad name ?’‘ People won’t see it as ‘’challenging gender norms’’
People won’t see it was ‘’brave’’ They’ll see it as edgy, cringy, attention seeking, and in the best case scenario, a joke. Is this really how you want us to be seen ?
You want/have a very specific label ? Valid.
You want/have a very vague label ? Valid.
Don't judge people for having a different way to choose their labels.
AFAB genderfluid omnisexual here (even though I always say I’m bisexual because I’m too much of a lazy fuck to explain what omnisexuality is all the time). If that’s what you feel comfortable with, I’ll refer to you as xir, xer, it, em or whatever, but emojis pronoums are fucking stupid.
He/she took my pronoums in the divorce 😔
I explain a little Spanish for you?
It is very easy if explained bit by bit, without stress, just fun and would also help me to learn english. At least I'll try as an objective for me.
Nivel 1: Básico (Level 1: Beginner).
-Tema 1: Pronombres (Lesson 1: Pronouns)
Pronombres personales (Personal pronouns):
Sujetos / Subject -> -Yo / I.
*-Tú o Usted / You.
-Él / He.
-Ella / She.
-Nosotros / We.
*-Vosotros o ustedes / You.
-Ellos o Ellas (female) / They.
It in spanish is like ello / esto (neutro) for animals, things, weather, then there is no sex as he or she . But sometimes it does not translate.
Example: Hoy hace frio / It is cold today. Here in spanish is not the translate “It”.
* “Usted o ustedes” is for a formal language, then you go to the medical, job interview, everything that requires a formal language.
Pronombre de objeto / Object pronouns -> -Mí / Me.
-A tí o a usted / You.
-A él / Him.
-A ella / Her.
-A ello / It (REMENBER).
-A nosotros / Us.
-A vosotros o ustedes/ You.
-A ellos o ellas (female) / Them.
Easy? I think that if this first part is easy. Also if you have any questions you can ask me. I do not bite, unless you're chocolate ;P. good morning Good afternoon Good night. Kisses and goodbye.
As a trans man, I’d like to point out that - sometimes - people say it’s ok to still use your birth name and/or pronoums, out of sheer fear and insecurity.
If you have a friend to come out as transgender, please, PLEASE, encourage them to use their prefered pronouns. And then, if they really say it’s ok, use whatever words they ask for.
It can happen, in early stages of transition, a desire to please people around you or maybe “not bother them too much”, hence the “I don’t mind the pronouns” thing. Help create a secure and supportive environment for these people.
