zableye replied to your post:Pronoun rambling under the cut
i feel you. as far as i can tell also, most nb people are using the new pronouns online and online only. tbh i see no harm in it (in fact i like them a lot) and im tired or cis and binary trans folks telling nb folks what they can/cant do.
exactly, cis and binary trans folks SHOULD have NO say in nb peoples genders or how they present themselves, and thats the reason i'm for them. I too think some of them are really nice, and if someone sees a pronoun that makes them go "there it is, thats me, thats how i identify, this defines me as a person" then by all means let them use that pronoun. NO ONE gets to define who you are.
what worries me most though are the people who are using them just because they're cute and not because they identify with them. because thats the REAL reason these pronouns can be trivializing. and thats the base of the reason people are upset.
