I don’t necessarily have any grudges against neopronouns (except stupid ones like dragon fucker) but i just use they/them because my brain cannot handle using words like that lmao
besides, its gender neutral so i suppose its fine?
Yeah I agree with you. I’m personally for a universal gender neutral singular third person neopronoun, or they/them, whichever becomes common (they/them is already common but with some opposition and can be a bit clunky sometimes). I am, however, against personalized neopronouns. Those are just additional names for a person that you need to remember and use correctly. Pronouns have five cases in English, which would make every single person have six names you need to pick from depending on context. It’s impractical and unnecessary. I thought the point of pronouns was so that the name didn’t have to be repeated again and again?
Just have a universal pronoun and it’s all over, everyone is happy.
