#biggest rule in the LGBTQ+ community with identity is to take things at bare-ass face value

[axolotluv]

I understand when someone uses they/them but not when they use it/its. Like... why do they speak of themselves like objects....... no....... can an object be my frien.........

So! BIG misconception! It/Its users are NOT objects :D Please never refer to us as such! Referring to yourself as an object is a completely different thing and totally unrelated to it/its pronouns! The only difference between an it/its user and a they/them user is their pronouns, nothing is different in relation to the persons identity as a human being!

Yes, an it/its user CAN view themselves as an object, but don't assume we all do. That is a completely different part of our identity which pronouns do not affect :)

'It' is a pronoun just as any other. It/Its users are comfortable being called 'it' in a non-derogatory and non-objectifying way! You can call a person 'it' without dehumanizing/depersonalizing it!

Use it/its pronouns just like any other pronoun! Objectification is not implied in the slightest. It's just a pronoun. He doesn't mean male, she doesn't mean female, and it doesn't mean object.

It's kind of similar to how we give objects their own pronouns. An example would be using "she" or "he" for say, a vehicle, but that does NOT mean that person views their vehicle as a human being.

TLDR: It/its users are not fucking objects. :)
