golbatsforequality:Your pronouns are your choice.  But before you use “it” pronouns, please consider the legacy of oppression and dehumanization behind them.Also, consider that “it” is an inanimate neuter, meaning that literally you prefer to be called an object.  I don’t know if everybody who uses “it” pronouns gets that aspect of the English language.  And use of that pronoun reinforces the idea that it’s okay to use it for all ambiguously presenting people.It is your choice, but please, consider what “it” means, very carefully.  I myself do not think that “it” is reclaimable the same way “queer” is.  There is no way to reclaim being relegated to the status of an animal or an object.  The opinion of this blog is that you have the freedom to use it pronouns and your choice should be respected in this matter without any personal condemnation, but that it’s probably a very bad idea.—Golbat -- source link
