@ trans people - do you find neogenders/pronouns transphobic?

[Sig]

please only answer this if you're trans!!!!


@ trans people - do you find neogenders/neopronouns transphobic?

like, fae/faes/faeself pronouns or stargender or something. do you find them to be mocking the trans community?

personally i think they're silly but they aren't transphobic! if a gender or pronouns fit you, use it! as long as you have a backup incase someone won't use them?


again; only answer if you're trans!!

[Spongebob]

what does any of this mean I'm not smart

im also not trans btw

 

[LambdaDelta]

I'm not trans but uh

this is the first time I've ever heard of any of these genders/pronouns

am I out of the loop or something?

 

[Fantasyrick]

same im not trans either but can you explain the meanings???

For everyone confused, it's essentially just...

ugh this sounds so bad to explain, this is one of the silliest thing in my opinion to come from tumblr.


So yknow how if you're trans, you generally swap pronouns around? Like if you're a trans girl, you'd usually go from he/him to she/her.

Take it a step forward, let's say you're non-binary, and you use non-gendered pronouns: They/them most commonly

Take it another step forward, and you have people creating their own customized set of pronouns that fit them specifically, which in my opinion kind of misses the point of pronouns in the first place. I don't think they're transphobic because they have good intentions, they're just very stupid to me.

so what you're saying is this is something that's been used by people mockingly, or will be if not done already

It's done mostly serious. Only people making fun of people who do it via satire blogs do it mockingly. This is all fairly old actually.

lol what has this world come to

I'm biologically a guy, and if I were to wear a dress (which will probably be a thing someday), I would never be doing it to be a girl. I would be doing it to make me look like me. I would never go with a set intention to be either sex, because I think it's irrelevant, and I'm completely oblivious to gender roles.

So, I don't know if that makes me agender or just androgynous, but I don't really care about my pronouns. To describe myself, I'd go my biological pronouns, just to avoid confusion. I wouldn't care what other people called me, though. I guess it's like if somebody pronounced my name differently. Say my name however you like! I've got my own way of saying it, but I'm not gonna hit you over the head with a baseball bat (or call you out on Tumblr) for not calling me a boy.

That being said, I think inventing your own pronouns is going a little too far, especially since you'd want people to start using them in front of you, which would just end up confusing people and it wouldn't even be necessary. People should care more about how they describe themselves than how other people do.

SO TRUE TBH

I hope no one gets offended by this.









even tho I bet someone will

 

[Miii]

Sorry to break your thread rules (I'm not trans) but people making up their own gender pronouns sounds ridiculous. I didn't know that was a thing until now (though I'm not at all surprised) but ugh... the whole point of being TRANSgender is that you're TRANSITIONING from one pre-existing gender to another. You can't just make up whatever silly word you feel like describes you best, and call yourself transgender.

lol i laughed

s i g h

as a trans person, i don't mind what pronouns you use.
i wouldn't use neogenders/neopronouns myself because i don't need that. i'm fine with he/him/they.

 

[MapleLeafKangaroos]

What's with all these tumblr terms nowadays

 

[demoness]

yeah as another trans person to be honest i deal with a whole other magnitude of personal problems and don't think about other pronouns or care or mind which ones people use. i personally just go with she/her to identify myself as a transwoman, because that's what works for me.

guys please stop posting it sounds like tumblr stuff/you think its special snowflake stuff, it's really rude!

 

[boujee]

It is tumblr stuff
No one is being rude
