This is a poll.
Poll question:
Do you think that editing posts where you've misgendered someone to correct the misgendering, *after explicitly being asked to do so*, is a requirement for being a true ally to trans and nonbinary people, and other gender outlaws? Please read all options before choosing.
Options:
1: No, leaving the misgendering is fine as long as you don't do it on new posts
2: No, because other people's feeling shouldn't police how you run your own blog
3: No, because misgendering isn't a big deal and fixing it is a waste of time
4: No, you should keep misgendering people to hold yourself accountable
5: Yes, because more people will be hurt the longer you misgender someone
6: Yes, you were asked to fix them, so you should to respect people's feelings
7: Yes, leaving the misgendering in place when you know better is disrespectful
8: Yes, because misgendering people is wrong. End of discussion.
9: No you should keep misgendering people out of spite for being asked to fix it
Edit for clarity: Keep in mind! You have *explicitly* been asked to edit the specific posts where you are misgendering someone. The posts are new, not even a week old, and editing all of them would take less than ten minutes total. It probably wouldn't even take five. That's how easy it'd be.
**Edit for clarity:
The "misgendering people is wrong, end of discussion" option excludes when you are asked to misgender someone for their own safety. I would have put that in, but tumblr's character limit for poll answers is annoyingly limited.
For this question, imagine that the posts where someone is being misgendered are only a day old, not months or years or even weeks. It would take literally less than ten minutes for all of the posts to be corrected.
I added multiple yes options so people could pick whichever of the main reason they would be picking at the moment, I promise it's not a trick question. It would have just felt weird if there were multiple no options and only one yes option.
There is no wrong yes answer, pick whichever one you feel is the most important consideration for this scenario.

Midterm Pride Flag
Midterm (slang): someone halfway between stages, phases, or states of sexuality, orientation, gender, presentation, identity or sex.
In Brazil, it's very common to use "meio-termo" referring to pluralians (bi/pan/ply/omni/tri/multi), cuspers/evenics (of any kind), transitioners and androgynous people, serial monogamists (and some non-monoamorous people) whose gender of partners varies (multipartnering), GNC/PNC, acespec/arospec, multigender/agender or otherwise non-binary people, and many others.
Therefore it can be a reclaimed term.

[ID: a banner that's a pale magenta color, with a cropped he/him lesbian flag in the left corner. Black text sits beside the cropped flag, saying 'this blog is a safespace for he/him lesbians' end ID]
[ID: a bluish, slightly darker shade of lavender, with black text reading 'this blog is a safespace for she/her gays'. A cropped she/her gay flag can be seen on the left side of the text. End ID]
I tried my hand at making banner things, lol. Feel free to use if for some reason you like these janky ass banners that took about five minutes each. /lh
credit is appreciated but not necessarily needed, as these were made for fun.

Refracted pronouns
Wanting someone to refer to you with the pronouns that you (or they) consider the opposite of their pronouns.
Examples:
-Someone uses it/they so you want it to use they/it for you
-Someone uses she/her so you want her to use he/him for you
-Someone uses ‘dark’ or scarier themed neopronouns so you want them to use ‘lighter’ or cuter themed neopronouns for you
-Someone who uses big/bigs pronouns so you want big to use small/smalls for you (this is an example of a pronoun set having an antonym, because it’s based on an adjective)
-Someone uses xe/xem so you want xem to use [whatever you consider the opposite of xe/xem to be. I personally think that ze/zir works] for you
What you (or the person who’s referring to you) consider the opposite of a certain pronoun set or combination is totally up to the individual, especially when it comes to neopronouns. If you want to go by refracted pronouns around someone the best thing to do is to ask them their pronouns, decide on an opposite and tell it to them so there’s no confusion.
This is the opposite of mirrored pronouns (coined by @kenochoric) and related to reflected pronouns.

Day 10 of @cocajimmycola's April Icon Event: Absolute unshakable headcanon for a character
Femme she/her trans boy Airi. She knew she was a boy at a young age, but was pretty closeted because she didn't think she would be accepted. As she got into the idol industry, she realized she loved being feminine, and was extremely comfortable with she/her pronouns, but she couldn't shake the feeling that she was still a boy. As she gets older, she becomes more accepting of herself.
Flag(s): Gender nonconforming, pronoun nonconforming, trans boy/man
