#she her hers

[100gayicons]

The term “coming out” began to be used in the 1960s to describe someone revealing to family or friends or the public in general that they were non-heterosexual (LGBT).

In our current era, many have chosen to describe themselves as non-binary. Often a person might decide to use they/them (or other terms) as their pronouns.

I am gay and prefer he/him. Maybe due to my age or generation, when I read an especially long article that uses they/them - about midway I get confused - who is “they” referring to? Did I miss something?

In this Tumblr I tend to refer to individuals as he/him and she/her. If I’m aware the subject prefers they/them, I will attempt, but I apologize if I slip up.

The use of pronouns is to simplify communication - so you don’t need to repeat a person’s name over and over again. I recently wrote a post about someone who identifies as non-binary. I decided to simply repeat their name instead of using pronouns. It was a little awkward at first to write, and I had to go back and make corrections. But I hope a reader will know who I was referring to.

hello to all my dragon transgenders i bring a lil snack

this is Calisto (it/they/she). it is mutant, many-eyed and their limbs are fossilized 👍 they're also pretty calm and take their role as older sibling very seriously, but kind of neglect their actual clan in favor of searching and traveling across Sornieth. i love it dearly

Oh snap—the pronoun pins at my job have come in!

My pin reads, “Ask me about my pronouns!”

We also have pins that list your actual preferred pronouns (She/Hers, Them/They, and He/Him) but didn’t have enough she/her pins to go around…!

And we have been given approval to list your preferred pronouns in your email signature which is awesome.

Patients charts can also include NB (non-binary) in the gender area and has an area to list the preferred pronouns as well!

(And yes—still in nursing but no longer a bedside nurse.)

Ever since I learned about LibraryPalooza that’d take place in the school a short walk away, I've had this burning fear that it was all too good to be true. Even as I bought books to get signed, even as I made a mental check of my closet the night before for what to wear (was aiming for red and black—because #lunareverafter!), even as I set alarms, I had this sinking feeling that something would prevent me from going.

I'm glad to say I was wrong—After nearly fifteen years of living and breathing books I finally got to meet an author whose work I have fangirled over for years. It was so crazy to meet Marissa Meyer and realize she’s an actual normal—albeit v v awesome and talented—human like the rest of us (whether she’s a cyborg or not remains to be seen).

I picked up some free ARCs (looks like I'm in a fantasy phase rn because I somehow intentionally bypassed an awesome-looking middle-grade novel about bringing down the patriarchy ... only to look back on that with confusion later on. I make strange choices under pressure) and a li'l badge from a large bunch of (cute!) choices. After a quick lunch + live music from an ADORABLE band, I attended Sandhya Menon' session (where my mind was blown by the little parallels between her story and mine as a teenage girl moving to the States from the Indian subcontinent, the impact of public libraries, and interests in highlighting intersectionality) and Tiffany D. Jackson’s session (after which I immediately mentally added her culture-, friendship- and suspense-filled novels—based on real criminal cases).

I learned so much about writing and publishing today. I'd been a little sad about having to attend alone, but in the end it didn't matter. I loved standing in a long, LONG book-signing line—and realizing everyone else was reading, instead of being on their phones. I loved glimpsing the same giddy excitement I felt on the faces of others. I not only met an author whose work I already loved, but met several more whose work I look forward to love. I'm so grateful towards the people who arranged this event and made sure it was free to the public. I'm absolutely beat—and giddy with happiness.

If I try to make it easier on you, and tell you you can just use he/him if its really that hard for you, and you try to hit me with the “you mean she right”....I will end you. I already am uncomfortable talking about this, and don’t particularly enjoy being tied down to one set of pronouns, hence why i use he, she, and they. Do not be the asshole that ruins it for everyone just because I tried to be nice because I value our friendship.
