My Pronouns

[ahunter3]

They ask me what my pronouns are. It's a respectful and appropriate question. I have no easy answers

Gendered third-person singular pronouns are a mess. I wish I were the English Language Deity and could just order everybody who speaks English to use "it/its" for all singular entities. English already has "it/its" as a perfectly good non-gendered third-person singular pronoun. But because we've long presumed that every mammal has one, and only one, of two exclusive genders, it feels weird to use "it/its" when speaking about a human. I blame the movie The Silence of the Lambs for making it/its even creepier to use, LOL

Yeah, I have an acquaintance in Westchester who has gone by "it" since way long before the modern "what are your pronouns" era.

I think "they" has become the defacto one-size-fits-all "it".
