Hazard Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 What are your thoughts on pronouns like it/its and thing/things for people? Would you choose to use them? If your friends used them, would you use them without question or try to avoid them? Just kind of wondering 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just kind of wondering I'd 100% use Neopronouns if my friends wanted me to for them (For example I use Xe/Xem as 1 of my pronoun suggestions which are considered neopronouns) 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equivalent Ways Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Hi @Emberfrost12! Welcome back btw! I did not know this thread existed but I am here now :) and glad to be cuz this is a good question :D ok so basically… if my friends used them that would not be the soul reason I would, however I would be happy to join them if it was all fun and love. I am actually kinda lazy with pronouns :/ so to people I don’t really know or little children I refer to them like it or thing so I already do that lol~ i don’t like to treat ppl meanly tho 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazard Posted April 8, 2023 Author Share Posted April 8, 2023 Ok, I realized that it probably seems like I asked weather you’d respect someone’s pronouns. That wasn’t the point. I wanted to raise this discussion for other reasons, like the thing about people who don’t know thinking you are actually objectifying the person you’re talking about, and about slave masters in the past referring to slaves as ‘it’ and people correlating the two. 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooo, like when someone misgenders another person then refers to them as an 'It'? Or are u meaning just in general objectifying that person because of their neopronouns/pronouns/personality?

I don't currently have any friends who use it/its pronouns, but if I did and somebody thought I were objectifying them, it just takes a quick "it prefers those pronouns" to explain myself. If they continue to make it an issue, that's on them. 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
