i love it/its pronouns sm. they mean so many different things to so many different people. to me “it” is a connection of myself and the rest of the world; unknown creatures are “it”, “it” will be a beautiful day outside, “it’s” been decomposing for weeks, look at that songbird; “it” is beautiful.
and this sense of community I share with other parts of the world which we refer to as it, is an entirely different sensation from many other people who use it/its pronouns! for some people it is a rejection of society - it is a way to unshackle oneself from modern understandings of gender. for others it becomes almost celestial - “it” is like the stars, the sky; immutable and hard to dictate through word concepts.
i love the versatility of meaning in it/its pronouns. man. sucks that people r weird about them.
