#mirrorpronominal

my new gender term. it's called mirarel, or mirarigender. you can also just call it gender mirroring or mirrored gender, and it's meant to be a parallel to mirrored pronouns. this term is for when you are the same gender as whoever is talking to or about you. it's similar to things like mirrorgender, but in this instance, you don't change based on the people around you in a given moment, or based on any specific type of relationship. you simply are the same gender as whichever person is talking to or about you in any given moment, regardless of where you are, or if they even know you. it's pretty much the same as mirrored pronouns, but with gender instead.

like with mirrored pronouns, the experience could be more fuzzy or more clear. with fuzzy mirroring, you match the general, broad characteristics of whoever is talking to / about you; if someone who is genderspace is referring to you, you might just be generally "nonbinary" or "some space-related gender," for instance. with clear mirroring, the match is exact. if someone who is genderspace is referring to you, you are also genderspace. i think there could also be odd mirroring, where you always match the gender as the person talking to / about you, but your presentation or other characteristics are always different, and other things like that.

the name comes from the latin word mirari ("to wonder at; admire.")

I love your icons so much. if you couldn’t already tell

THANKS SO MUCH

amaregender + mirror pronouns flag for anon!

the reason i was trying she/they/shey before is bc i was trying to get myself used to being referred to with just those pronouns (mostly she/her) bc that's what ppl would most likely use on me irl without me coming out; but, just like with my gender (and other aspects of my queer identity tbh), i've realized that i shouldn't identify based on whether i'm out irl or not.

and the reason for being nullpronominal and mirrorpronominal is that i really cannot decide on any pronoun sets. i've gone through so many over the years and none have ever felt right. so i like the idea of either being referred to by no pronouns or by whatever pronouns the person referring to me uses bc i don't mind whatever ones i get. and the reason i'm being mirrorpronominal instead of just also going by all/any pronouns is bc i've noticed when you do that, ppl will most often just default to they/them and/or won't use a lot of different sets, which for me, is kinda annoying; i want variety and mirror pronouns makes sure of that while also making it easier for ppl to decide what pronouns to use for me if they want to use any haha.

This is a mutopronominal term describing someone who uses the pronouns of the one referring to them. 

For example, let’s say Justin is mirrorpronominal. Sally uses she/her. When Sally is talking about Justin, she would use she/her for them. 

If Gary were talking about Justin, and Gary used they/them pronouns, they would use they/them for Justin.

A mirrorpronominal person might have (a) base pronoun set(s) that anyone can use. So if Justin had ve/vir as a base pronoun set, then Sally can use she/her and ve/vir in reference to Justin, and Gary could use they/them and ve/vir in reference to Justin.
