yourg4mem4sterth3whit3r4bbit:swordshapedleaves: queerdo-mcjewface: [Image description] Leonard Pollard My mom was having trouble using they/them prnouns with some friends for a while. One day she said “I think the problem is that I haven’t changed the way I view their gender outside of their pronouncs which adds several extra steps in converting binary pronouns to they/them then conjugating it. So I need to shift how I see them as a gendered person entirely to make using their pronouns easier.” And since then she hardly ever messes up. [End image description] A lot of the cis people in my life need this This is literally why people mess up pronouns and why it’s a problem.Like the reason you’re not calling me “they” is because you still think of me as gendered the way you initially assumed. It’s not just the pronouns I want you to change, they only serve as an acknowledgement of the gender I want you to adjust your perspective to. If you did that, you wouldn’t struggle with it. -- source link
