Why are pronouns so important?

It's really more than that though, just because someone has preferred prounouns/are trans doesn't automatically make them a tumblrina. Please don't start stuff :/

No. Pronouns MEAN THAT YOU ACCEPT THEIR IDENTITY. You understand that this is their gender and you RESPECT that. I could go around calling you "it", couldn't I? Then make fun of you when you get upset. That's what you're saying is right, isn't it?
wtf I wasn't talking about a first person experience I was just saying that I've seen things like those happening LOL
I'm not starting anything
I'm just stating pronouns don't mean anything and that being used as she is the same as he or they

it is not a pronoun fyi
it's what you call an object

This got out of hand very quick.
Some people who do not identify with a gender do indeed prefer "it" to be used ("they" is more popular though). fyi lol

I'd bet you'd get a BIT salty if someone repeatedly called you the wrong pronoun.
"a word that can function by itself as a noun phrase and that refers either to the participants in the discourse (e.g., I, you ) or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse (e.g., she, it, this )."

As someone who used to work in an office and had to email people a lot, pronouns can be obnoxious. People get so offended if you accidentally use the wrong one.
I honestly wish there was just a gender neutral pronoun that we could use for everyone. That way there would be no mistakes, no one would get upset by you referring to them as a gender they don't identify with, etc.

You are an object as of this point. Let's ignore this thing. Yep, you're an it.
Honestly, if you can't respect a person's choices, you need to get out the internet because you're coming across as very rude and childish.

being misgendered sucks. especially if you're trans. and itms super disrespectful to use the wrong pronouns on purpose. idk i'm too tired to write anything more but it's like kinda rly important
if any of my internet friends called me she on purpose i probably wouldn't feel safe around them anymore because that would honestly be so transphobic and sucky and disgusting. thankfully my friends are good people

I think you need to understand that it's my opinion
and I can use whatever pronoun I want
"They"? Or if you're addressing someone in an email or whatever, "Sir/Madam"? I agree that it can be tricky, especially with certain languages that are VERY gender-specific and have no gender neutral pronouns at all.

And, yes, I'm well aware there's various gender neutral pronouns that some people already use. But honestly, they are not used commonly by most people. If you were to refer to someone with a gender neutral pronoun in a business environment, you would probably be looked at as either disrespectful or as an idiot to the people who are not used to them.
