people on facebook are doing a Pronouns/Gendered Words Meme so I decided to do it over here
It/Its: sure She/Her: fine, but depending on context/your other behavior it might make me cross that you’re misgendering me He/Him: sure They/Them: sure Neopronouns: sure! call me whatever bizarre neopronoun your little heart desires Dr.: nope, don’t have a PhD Mr.: sure but I might look around in confusion Mx.: yes please! this is my preferred if you’re capable of using it. I think “Mx.” is really twee but feel it is prosocial to use the terms people have settled on Miss/Mrs./Ms.: I typically put down “Ms.” on forms. Strongly disprefer Miss and Mrs., for feminist reasons Sir: sure, especially if I’m topping you Ma'am: no Tiz: apparently this is gender-neutral sir/ma’am???? I have never heard this before. I want to be prosocial and adopt the terms everyone else is using Pal/Buddy: I cannot imagine a person calling me this but sure? Bud: I DOUBLE cannot imagine a person calling me this but sure Friend: great Comrade: .........I guess????? I’m not a communist Dude: sure! Man: sure! Bro/Bruh: sure! Sis: is this a word people use to refer to people Girl: NO Gurl: ????? I guess????? for novelty’s sake if nothing else Guy: sure Sib: yes please! Boy: yes Boi: .....I guess? I feel like this refers to a specific group of people I am not part of Lord/Lady/King/Queen/Prince/Princess: uh I am not really royalty but I guess the male versions are fine? or you can do “princex” I guess??? Captain: I am not... a person who is in charge of a boat? If I were in charge of a boat probably you should call me a captain “Feminine” compliments (pretty etc): yes PLEASE I am a pretty boy “Masculine” comments (handsome, etc): not as good as feminine ones Honey, Sweetie, Babe, etc: fine but I might feel like this is uncomfortably close if you don’t do it to everyone and we aren’t close friends Languages with more grammatical gender than English: depending on what is easier for you, you can use a neutral version (even if it is new or archaic), phrase your sentences to avoid gender, switch between the masculine and the feminine, or simply use the masculine
