what’s all this about pronouns?
so you want to refer to me, do ya?
technically i tell people i use any pronouns, but what does that actually look like in practice? here are some examples.
if you’re talking about me in a colloquial sense, among friends for example, it’s perfectly fine to use “they” or “she” as you prefer, although mixing it up with some neopronouns (i’m partial especially to “fae”) is also appropriate.
if you’re talking about (or even to) me in a sexual context, “she” is good but “it” is better.
if you’re talking about my system as a whole, “they” is most appropriate, as we are literally plural.
in any situation where you must refer to me around transphobes who know me, please use “she”.
in any situation where you must refer to me around transphobes who don’t know me, please use the pronoun that will upset them the most (probably “fae”).
and that’s about how i’m called!
