Some nonbinary folks πŸ’ͺ

IDK, "it" feels a whole lot weirder than "them".

[-] knightly@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Some of us are weird enough that it feels appropriate. 🀷🏼

[-] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 year ago

Also Finns. We have perfectly gender neutral pronouns but we prefer to use "it" instead

[-] Zaros@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Unless we're talking about pets, funny enough.

[-] SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org 10 points 1 year ago

Some people legitimately choose the pronoun it though and that shouldn't be shamed.

Intent is important I guess

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Feels like casual dehumanization to call a person β€˜it’.

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

It can definitely feel that way, but that's no reason not to use the pronouns that someone identifies with.

People talking about someone who uses it/its pronouns πŸ’ͺ

Look everyone! Its it!

I thought terfs insist on using the false pronoun? Using more than 2 pronouns for humans breaks the gender binary

[-] GiveMemes@jlai.lu 7 points 1 year ago

No they say it because they want to objectify and demean you. I knew a guy like this and it had nothing to do with sticking to the binary and everything to do with making people feel bad for being different.

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

That's scary. I never heard that before

[-] GiveMemes@jlai.lu 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah it's really sad that people are like that. He was the choir teacher at my hs and would call a nb person in the group 'it' if he was corrected. Just kinda gross but he was old as fuck and abt to retire anyway so we never really escalated it.
