Pronouns are easy. It's really weird when people are resistant to using pronouns or don't like adjusting to someone's preferred pronouns. It's not hard, it makes someone feel respected, and it's grammatically correct to use the right pronouns.
It's really weird to me that some people get offended by it, lol. Language is adaptable. People are adaptable. Adapt, it ain't that hard.
Especially for washrooms, who gives a shit? Everyone poops.
My fave washroom signs have a pic of a man, a woman, and an Eldritch horror and says "Whatever. Just wash your hands."
I never started using them, to begin with I said a long time ago, if someone has special pronouns, I'll either just always call them by their name, or just avoid them, altogether. It's usually the latter, though.
When I was in college back in 2015-2016, I had a university career counselor who that her pronouns on her door, and when my number came up, I said I'd wait to see another counselor. She insisted on wanting to know why. I told pointed to the pronoun signs on her door and said I'd wait to talk to someone worth taking seriously. She was about to object and probably say something about "the importance of preferred pronouns" or something, and I cut her off after the first word and said how "this isn't a discussion, goodbye."
They have an abundance of aliens, conjoined twins, and spartan warriors at this place? Sounds like quite the place...
I can count on one hand how many times I've actually had some really clownish psychos try to correct me on their pronouns, and I ignore them or call them by name instead. I'm also pretty sure that 90% of them within a 50-mile radius work at coffee shops.
Sometimes it can be a lot. I literally had a close friend get mad at me because I forgot to use they/them instead of she/her. It’s not my fault though, when you are so used to calling someone one thing and then over night they change that, you have to get used to it. I felt super bad about it but I can’t keep up sometimes.
Actually, no. I have never minded the proper pronouns thing. I do get tired of people acting like their gender isn't the same as their sex though. Get outta here with that nonsense. It's just people trying to make their lives more interesting. You don't have gender dysphoria; you aren't special. The reason you don't conform to society's stereotypes of what it means to be a man/woman is because no one does. That's what happens when you're a sentient human.
Haven’t really encountered the problem yet, to be honest. If someone gets mad, just respectfully correct yourself and move on. If they want to keep getting fired up from there after an apology and a correction, that’s on them.
The more days I live, the less I feel the need to interact with other humans, or any sort, so I’d rather just not talk to anyone, period. Lmao
I honestly did not get to meet anyone that really care all that much about it so far I do think its useless and degrades the over all useability of words when it becomes too much on this till they kind of lose meaning
If someone cares for it I will try, but not going to feel too bad if I get it wrong or anything, I just dont think its worth messing with
I don't have any trans whatever friends so I don't deal with it enough to get tired of it. I do get tired of right wing infotainment acting like it effects everyone and we should all be tired of it, though.
When complaints of a problem drastically outnumber instances of the problem, you are being scammed..
Yes, to an extent. Society has changed though, it's not the same world I grew up in back in the early 90s. So in my opinion it's better to just bare with it than to upset others by not respecting their wishes. Is it a bit cringe 😬? Yeah absolutely, but it's a standard nowadays.
I think it feels different if you have been mislabeled most of your life. For instance the elderly gentleman behind this question probably has a "live, laugh, love" somewhere in his apartment. He doesn't see it as an issue because it hasn't been an everyday experience in his boyhood life.
Nope proper pronouns are for he or sh he being people with happiness a Y chromosome and testosterone running through their bodies. She is someone with 2X chromosomes making them a human female like every other female in the mammalian species
Since I don't pay attention to people and what they prefer to be called, I could care less. I will call somebody by their legal name and treat them with human dignity. But they will never force me to change my language because they have serious mental health issues. Not happening.
I get tired of all the fuss thats made about it. People have always used pronouns, and when someone accidentally uses the wrong one the person has always corrected them, and they just apologize and use the right one instead. It's literally been a thing since language has been. And only now people are bullshitting that it's so hard? Please. You can figure it out you're a clever bean, I believe in you.
Not really, we all use pronouns for years even they/them subconsciously. You're just agrivatted by society changing. Every generation goes through it and the aggravation. It's less stressful if you just accept the reality around you. You will encounter many societal changes in your lifetime, all you can do is adapt to the slight inconvenience.
Yeah. I never pushed my beliefs on them. Now they are doing exactly what they got pissed at us doing. It’s messed up. If I want to be referred to as a him and I see you as a him are a her.. that’s what I’m allowed to say.. doesn’t matter how you see yourself. You call yourself whatever you want
I cannot guess anyone's pronouns. If your sexuality or gender is not what you look like, then please use a badge or sign saying what you are. I am pissed off with guessing.

I will probably never use the weird ones (aka neopronouns) but literally saying the word “she” or “I” or “him” is a pronoun. I find it funny when people say “I don’t use pronouns” like yes you do. Everyone does, some people just don’t announce it is all.
I Don’t have to Make sense to anybody and don’t need to Use Coherent Words when I speak 🗣 and if I choose I Can talk in Riddles. Proper or not I say what I wanna say.
It can be a lot. And I get how it can be hurtful but come on. You can’t expect everyone to be perfect in questing wtf you like to be called. Yea you can ask but what if we don’t have time for that? I don't know just call everyone bro n call it good
If you look like a he/him your getting called a he/him, if you look like a she/her your getting called a she/her, if you wanna start an argument about it I'm going to change you to a was/were
The college I teach at has special rooms for breastfeeding. I asked the HR lady what kind of symbols are they going to put on the door signs. Actually she thought it was funny.
