I feel like this needs to be said.
some of y'all are detached from reality. when it comes to pronouns you can't expect someone to go up to you and ask "what are your pronouns?" it's less than likely going to happen. No one is going to be able to determine, "oh they look like they use they/them pronouns." Because besties the Realityis if you LOOK feminine or have female attributes your going to be called she/her. This might change later on but for NOW your pronouns are going to be determined by your physical approach. HOWEVER, you can always correct someone if they use the incorrect pronouns. I'll never understand why people get mad when i don't know their pronouns during our FIRST meeting. "THOSE AREN'T MY PRONOUNS! It's THEY/THEM" Stop just assuming! y'all, please just correct them. Pronouns are not predictable mainly when it comes to the OPPOSITE of your PHYSICAL apperance. There, please feel free to correct me.
It boggles me that people come in this website and think their opinions on someone’s pronouns, and how they feel about it matters.
What people are trying to do is stigmatize assuming someone’s gender/pronouns.
They’re literally trying to create a space where people don’t assume it. We can’t have something if we don’t work for it. You�...... 1 reply
And there got that off my chest for anyone who wanted to say it but was to scared to be canceled. And not to mention most of the adults NOW are Millennials who aren't even caught up to the "they/them" or another pronoun usage. Please expandbeyond the internet. 1 reply

Clothes do not have a gender. You should be able to ask and respect pronouns by default. People who get misgendered have every right to be upset especially since most of them suffer dysphoria.
If you saw an androgynous person (and most of the time enby people appear as androgynous as they can) you probably would refer to the...... reply
i think as long as you're not specifically trying to hate on someone or use their incorrect pronouns on purpose, it's fine, although asking pronouns when you meet someone new is always better.
if you don't ask and assume their pronouns (without bad intentions) i think it's fine if the person just corrects you, you change their pronouns, and both o...... reply
I agree with this, you can't blame someone for accidentally mis-pronouncing your pronouns, it's common instinct at this point to refer to someone by their appearance. If you tell me your pronouns are they/them, I'll call you they/them. It's a different story if the person is deliberately referring to you wrong just to be an ass, but otherwise all y...... 1 reply
as someone who uses any pronoun and is unsure about my gender identity, i think i have a say in this. i am feminine or appear/present feminine, and so people using she/her pronouns would be reasonable (only for me, in my opinion as i use any). but i would probably still introduce myself with my preferred pronouns, which are any pronouns. i think it...... reply
Reality as in real life? If so, wouldn’t you know that person’s name or at least ask for it to know how you should call them? I do agree that if you look feminine/manly people are going to automatically assume your gender regardless of whether or not it’s wrong but sometimes that may offend people so if they get rude and or disrespectful with...... 1 reply
