Why do people get weird when they ask my pronouns & I answer with Mrs followed by my husband’s surname name?

[Gwendoline]

They seem reluctant to use it, even offended but they did ask and I use their choosen pronouns though i dont quite understand all these pronouns, genders and sexualities. Seems there's a new one trending every month.

[Communicationisking]

I thought it was rude to ask that, but I'm kinda like you ie. I find it hard to follow all of them and have no idea what some of them are. I don't really care too much about someone's pronoun and I don't care what they do/don't get up to so long as they don't make me feel like shit for what I am or push whatever they are on me.

I get on with people in general but I feel attacked or made to feel inferior sometimes by the people that seem to be only identifying as a certain thing because they think its trendy or whatever or they are repulsed by me because of what I am.

Anyone who asks your preferred pronouns is already weird. So it's no surprise when they act weird when you say Mr. or Mrs. They don't want to accept normal sanity.

Thank you for the MHO, Gwendoline.

There are over one hundred pronouns in the English language. This includes words like "I", "me," "you," "its," etc. An example of pronouns are she/her, he/him, etc.

You answering with your surname is quite literally grammatically misunderstanding what they're asking. They're asking pronouns because they intend on being respectful towards you, because your identity is important. If you want to answer with surnames, just go "Oh, she/her, I'm Mrs [surname] and this is my husband, Mr [surname]. He uses he/him."

I think just don't make it weird and you'll be fine.

You're only 19 and married. It seems to me that you are boasting to people that you are married. Ohhhh, look at me, I'm married.
You know very well that people just give people their first and last name. What's wrong with that?
Maybe if you were a much older woman then people might expect you to say Mrs. --------. But not at only age 19.
That's why they look at you weird because it is weird for this day and age.

[sage2021]

Thank you for the MHO ❣️

[OlderAndWiser]

My preferred pronoun is His Excellency.

[Sal_Monella]

Donald Trump, are you? :-D

[Sal_Monella]

Competing with did not print.

[OlderAndWiser]

@Sal_Monella The humor in statements does not transmit very well through digital media.

[RavVid]

Good answer! A counseling session was related to me where counselor asked every attendee what their pronouns were and a woman responded with Mrs XYZ. Exactly the same as you.

The whole group laughed. The counselor was weirded out because the group was clearly laughing at her.

I need to think of a suitable response in case I am ever asked.

[Sal_Monella]

Back in the day, my pronoun was Gunny. The grandparents of the same type of miscreants the post here were there and would have thrown rocks at me when I got back from The Nam if I asked them to call me Gunny. Tell them to "fornicate" themselves.

[MrChinaski]

Have you tried me/my? As in 'Shut up you worthless, woke hipster who pretends to care about people by making up words and instead show some respect for a person that is actually able to hold together a loving relationship. Now bring me my cake.'

>i dont quite understand all these pronouns, genders and sexualities

If you don't understand all of that, good. It shouldn't make sense to you, because it is all nonsense.

This whole thing is an attempt to change science to fit the delusions of the type of mentally ill who legitimately think they are born in the wrong bodies and demand to have surgery done to affirm those delusions.

Since the dawn of man, we have referred to men as adult human males and women as adult human females. It is as simple as that. Somehow, we have gone until now without people suddenly having a problem with it if it truly was not as sustainable as those who peddle the idea that gender is a social construct claims it is.

[MuddyMole]

Probably because your name is not a pronoun. Your name is a proper noun, and a pronoun is a word that is used in place of (literally "for") a proper or common noun.

For example:
Common noun - Woman
Proper noun - Gwendoline
Pronoun - She

[Gwendoline]

Ah. Thank you.

[worldscolide]

Probably because there are only two genders, and a myriad of mental disorders.. Those that use pronouns outside of the binary are mentally disabled and should be treated as such.

[Gwendoline]

Some of the women with differing pronouns are on antidepressants

[worldscolide]

Considering mental illness is rampant on the left that makes sense.

[NoDecision]

Because people don't like what God gave them and want to be something else. That is like a foot saying, I don't want to be a lousy foot, I want to be a hand. Yet both are what they are and they are both important to the body.

[WindAtMyBack]

If they ask for your pronoun, they are already pretty damn weird. If anyone asked my an idiotic question like that I'd just tell them to fuck off. A question like that doesn't even deserve an answer.

[Fireguy17]

People are still hung up on pronouns?
I thought everyone was over that.

[Gwendoline]

I would have thought it out of fashion by this stage.

[Med_guy1978]

For a traditional person that would be correct, a new age person who is following the transhumanism indoctrination may get upset with your answer.

[Joshydavid25]

Haha.. They probably feel that you're mocking the whole thing, so naturally they'll make an assumption that you're probably not an "ally".. Lmao..

[genericname85]

cause asking pronouns is really not about trying to accept you for who you are. it's merely a check if you follow their demented doctrines or not.

[MannMitAntworten]

I am so glad I don’t live in an area where this is remotely a thing.


They made up this bullshit and do not like your answer … fuck’em.

[Jennz6]

That ain’t RIGHT…

[FunkyMonkee]

If they ask me, I just say, "My pronouns are: Fuck you / Pay me / Eat shit and die."

[exitseven]

These people act weird because the ARE weird/

[DJB72]

It's nothing to do with pronouns. They're judging you based on your virtue signalling.

My "pronouns" are "Gen-X" and "Fuck Off"

[Stevepro68]

Well they worry that you don't understand what the word pronoun means and they are concerned for you when you answer with a prefix and a proper noun.

[Anonymous]

my pronouns are "I'm always right"

[dudeinohio]

I just go by what I see. I dont follow the politically correct mindset

[purplepoppy]

I reply, "what's a pronoun?" Then stare blankly as they try to explain.

[AviatorTom]

That's very good.

My pronoun is usually "Hey you"

[fivebyfour]

Because they do not respect you?,,,

I took my wife's surname, that caused a little confusion at times,,,

[loveslongnails]

Maybe because that's not what a pronoun is, that's a "title", so to speak.

[Anonymous]

Welcome to liberal world where everything is made up and the facts don’t matter

[seeyounexttuesday]

There are two genders and an infinite number of mental illnesses

[DryGermanGuy]

Nobody is asking for your pronouns. 🙄

[beefcakebradybatson]

You're married at NINETEEN? HOLY CRAP !!!

[shortster]

Try telling them "Me, my, mine" next time.

[RedInnocent69]

Because you’re an anachronism
