Or "why should i need to learn a new set of different pronouns for every person I meet?" (this followed two comments after "I'm literally not a transphobe, I work with plenty of trans colleagues who feel safe around me" (average lib being scratched in real time by having to acknowledge neopronouns))

.
All of these shitheads claimed to be allies when they started interacting but our brilliant pronoun tags immediately made them out themselves as the bigots they are who only pretend to be allies because it looks bad to be openly and proudly transphobic

I literally just got more people in my notifs fucking malding over neopronouns in fucking 196 agony-shivering

Makes me think of those polls where people think that like 30% of America is trans. Don't like 1% or so of trans people use neopronouns?

[–] LesbianLiberty@hexbear.net 55 points 1 year ago (1 children)

From my sample size all of my friends and most of the people I meet are trans because of social things I attend, and I've only met one person in real life who uses neopronouns. Really cool ze/zir.

The only one I've run into is they/them and they're not even that upset when people slip up. Just don't like when people slip up and refuse to at least try.

[–] LesbianLiberty@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Wild, I feel like one out of every three people I know irl uses they/them

concerned about new pronouns? think it's unfair to have to learn new pronouns??

bestie we've dealt with this near-site breaking struggle sessions before and won, so gl with that

[–] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago (3 children)

NGL I was mildly against the pronoun thing when it started, but I was humble enough not to get involved in the struggle sessions. So literally thanks to Hexbear posters for putting me on the right side of history.

I had a moment of "I'm not sure I want to be obviously female on the internet," then I remembered I chose a feminine username and realized I was being real dumb. Also it's Hexbear, so misogyny just isn't a problem anyway.

My stance on the pronouns was always:

I have nothing to gain if these aren't added, and lose nothing if they are
Queer comrades gain wider acceptance if they are, and a more inclusive environment is a better environment

Seemed like a pretty easy choice

Uhhh, actually, if you have pronoun tags that means you’re a bot, it’s just logical.

trans people don't want to be around me, so many of them being in one place is very suspicious

Today i saw a guy from midwest.social claim that

CW: transphobia, world's most clueless cissie

we must be Russian bots because we have so many different pronouns. I'd link to the comment, but it has obviously been removed by the mods for the transphobia. I still can't get over how much of a cisdude shitfest your surroundings must be that it throws you off when the people replying to you have exotic pronouns like "he/him" and "she/her" - these were literally two of his examples, the others being "they /them" and "none / use name" and a grand total of one actual neopronoun. Made that dipshit think that our botnet "sets pronouns to shuffle", as if that would result in something as tame as the selction of pronouns he's given.

“Any tankie space would obviously be like 98% he/him neckbeards only.”

[–] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 45 points 1 year ago (4 children)

such a complete dingus, you can tell he's never consciously talked to a trans person in their entire life, has no idea what trans spaces look like, has no bloody clue how radicalizing it is to grow up as trans in our society and how absurdly large the number of trans anarchists and communists is or how much we concentrate in the few spaces that actually care for our safety. i actually kinda pitty them for that.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 44 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I've been training myself through deliberate use to use they/them whenever there's any ambiguity. It's almost completely effortless now. Rarely do I have to think about it consciously.

[–] Venus@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I now default to she/her. Don't like being misgendered, gamers? Set your pronouns hentai-free

It was one of our first struggle sessions. It didn't kill unfederated Hexbear, did they think it would kill us?

I just love your pronoun support. It's great to see both the serious ones and the joke ones. Both for the solidarity with our brothers/sisters/niblings and as a quick visual cue that a comment thread is gonna get interesting in a way that isn't supporting bigotry :D

[–] booty@hexbear.net 71 points 1 year ago (8 children)

There are no joke pronoun options on Hexbear. We took a hard stance early that the pronoun tags are serious, without any of our normal silliness.

Manually adding pronouns by customising your display name in settings is something everyone can do on any instance. The difference being it’s mandatory here. Feel free to add your own and join in.

Love the pronouns.

Wish they weren't a hyperlink. Tired as hell of accidentally tapping them instead of the upbear, can the upbear be moved to the right of the time poster maybe?

learn a new set of different pronouns for every person I meet?

"I hate learning things about people. What? Your NAME? You think I want to learn a new name for every person I meet!?"

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I called it! I knew the LIB brain would shut down when presented with some actual progressive thought!

it would be depressing, but i've seen it happen often enough, through history and sadly in my personal life sadness
