Anyone else have different preferences depending on the context? Among trans friends, they’ll throw in some neos for me. Among cis friends, he/they is comfy. For anyone else, they/them strictly because you just can’t behave.
You guys mention your pronouns like that, in a lecture? Weird, never considered that to be a thing
I had to do this in college and I opted to leave it blank the first time I saw it in a humanities class after a great deal of inner turmoil, I was too scared of outing myself and all the consequences.
The virgin “giving every pronoun variation”
Vs
The Chad “giving the first two or just ‘X series’ because you can easily intuit the rest unless they’re stated otherwise”
Once you get to the fourth (and arguably the third) you’re just playin with yourself
Idiot here, on that point why is the second one needed? Does anyone ever pair “he” with something other than “him”?
only cis people include the possessive pronoun
When would someone else use your possessive pronoun? If they were writing your biography? Has anyone ever differentiated them/themself?
I mean, possessives and reflexives do show up. E.g. ‘it’s theirs’ or ‘she bought it herself’. That being said, unless youre using pronouns people arent assumedly familiar with theres no point in including the possessive and reflexive forms.
Arguably the inclusion of the object form is just because people were using pronouns that required it to be listed, such as ‘hir’, and so when people using they, she, or he pronouns went to include them in a bio or something they copied what others were doing, which was more neopronoun oriented. Idk im not an internet history scholar or anything if someone else knows more do chime in.
I’ve seen the object form be relevant when it comes to (s)he/they which isn’t neo, but still differentiating.
Thank you for your insight!
