You're only allowed to call it a bloggo if you used to call it a bloge. Sorry, Aella. Thems the rules.

I can usually handle using “they” although I agree that it comes with an increased cognitive load. I’m less sympathetic to using other pronouns (like xer, hir, vis, etc.) because the cognitive load is so high, and I get the sense that you may just want to be special.

What in the world are you talking about? Identity is arguably the only thing that belongs to yourself. In a social context it’s the consequences of an identity that is for the group to decide.

Your topic reminds me with those people who changed their names it feels weird initially but by the time, things become normal. Some people have high adaptability to changes.

you've used an assumed name as long as I've known you, people seem to respect that even though they are playing your little game of pretend. Reading this was painful.

I don't ask people who use my old name to use my new name - I tell them they can use whatever name they want. I'm also 100% fine with people telling me if they feel a sense of pretend with my real name. This is typically not the case with pronouns.

Maybe this is language having growing pains? Using the "preferred" pronouns feels inauthentic, a barrier to intimacy- a complication that inhibits shared understanding. Maybe you sharing about shoulder brain is helping us evolve towards language that works better?
