this one is actually one of my favorite memes. It’s up there with the “oh youre into pronouns? how about you let me she/them titties” Mario voice acted one

    gendered/non-gendered mixes like that can be a little confusing at first. i’ve met folks with these chosen pronouns, and the answers i’ve gotten have ranged from “i’m happy with either” to “i’d prefer if you used both roughly the same amount”.

    anecdotally, they’ve also been some of the most chill folks i’ve met when it comes to messing up their pronouns! which is wonderful for me because my brain is a pile of rotting swiss cheese that can sometimes do math ^^

      I’ve always understood them as either/or, although I always though people wput their preferred one first. Sometimes people will use both when they’re questioning or just want to test one out to see if it feels more comfortable, or sometimes they truly just don’t care.

      Though I remember someone once wanted each specific pronoun to be used depending on what you were saying (i.e. she went to the store where their friend was waiting), which I would try to respect but honestly that’s a whole other level of thinking and I can’t imagine most people being this particular.

        I’ve thought about correcting people about my pronouns depending on how I’m feeling, but honestly I couldn’t even expect myself to get it right so I don’t.
