Gender pronouns confusing? Here’s what you should know

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – In the last decade, gender pronouns have become a much more common sight to see and hear – both in social media profiles, in their email signatures, on patches and pins, and when they introduce themselves.

As the fight for LGBTQ+ equality and rights continues, many people have publicly announced that they’re non-binary and use they/them pronouns.

When people share their pronouns, they’re explaining how they self-identify and how they’d like others to refer to them.

The best thing to do when someone shares their pronouns is to use them.

According to GLSEN, a group that provides resources for educators to use with LGBTQ youth, using a person’s pronouns is a first step toward showing respect for their identity and creating a more welcoming space.

The pronouns he and she are used in discussing other people and are gendered pronouns.

People can also use non-gendered or gender-neutral pronouns such as they/them, ze/zir, ze/hir, xe/xem, fe/fem, ey/em, co/co, or per/per.

Some of these, such as ze/sem and fe/fem, are known as neo pronouns, and are what some nonbinary, gender diverse, transgender and genderqueer people use.

Other people ask to be described by a variety of pronouns such as she/they, or any pronouns. Some ask that they be referred to only by their name, asking that no pronouns be used in reference to them.

As simple as it gets:
He, She and It ... and, from observation and interaction, I alone determine which to use.

I’m old school. I use the normal pronouns in the normal situations. I’m a grownup. This childish homo BS isn’t anything I need to know.

Mockingbird Media Propaganda:

“The best thing to do when someone shares their pronouns is to use them.”

Bwahahahahahaha.

The Deep State agenda for the destruction of society is out in the open—they are not even trying to hide it anymore.

Remember to support their foreign policy adventures while you are at it—Make the world safe for perverts!

The best thing to do when someone shares their his or her pronouns is to use avoid using them.

It might require a switchover from active to passive mode, but you will not become complicit in the person's inanity.

I tell those people that I’d be happy to help them claw their way back to reality, and 90% throw a tantrum...

<< using a person’s pronouns is a first step toward showing respect for their identity >>

In reality it’s enabling their mental / spiritual illness.

No apologies. The language is specific. You can’t have your own pronouns.
It would be silly to engage with someone who thinks otherwise.

They and them are plural pronouns, not singular. Sorry, pronoun loonies, that’s just how it is. I’m not playing the pronoun game, and if that causes hissy fits, too bad.

The best thing to do when some idiot "shares its pronouns" is point at it and laugh.
