Ppl who feel empowered by being asked their pronouns “won” this one. I don’t get it, but I’ve consciously chosen not to use platforms available to me to push back. But you can’t make me feel the way you feel or like what you like.
I’d rather be called she forever without anyone batting an eye than have to specify a pronoun preference whenever I meet someone new. My dysphoria has always had to do with how my body looks and feels. I just don’t care about pronouns the way others do.
It feels like this is a place where the trans movement could grow a bit. It’s not an attack to say “hey... this thing you like? Not everyone likes it as much as you.”
It would be nice for folks to listen and accept that these pronoun circles make some of us uncomfortable. It doesn’t mean they have to change. But surely the “winners” of this can listen to the “losers” with compassion, and accept that everyone doesn’t feel the same.
I’d also be happy if “they” was the standard/default pronoun for everyone, including me. I don’t feel more or less comfortable with he, she, or they- but I wouldn’t prefer a world where everyone had to tell others what pronouns to use all the time, even if cis ppl did it.
