any thoughts about the use of pronouns. Do you think neo-pronouns i.e. identifying your pronouns as 'kitty' should be acceptable. feel free too discuss.

if it doesn't harm anyone, why not? You don't have to agree with something to be accepting.

Couldn’t care less on what people want themselves to be called, and I would call them that if they asked.

However people take these kind of things too far on occasions. Like Ive seen articles/complaints where people want documents and stuff to say birthing parent instead of mother because it’s not inclusive. Even as far as abolishing boys and girls sections in stores becuase the pronouns are not inclusive. I don’t wanna have to go through piles of clothes to find ones for boys.

As long as you aren't forced its fine. By forced I mean kicked out of your institution or police are called (this has actually happened before!).

i agree, i respect whatever you identify as or wotnot but i do believe theres an extent....

Just curious why the pronoun 'they' doesn't cover everything? Referring to people as 'kitty' is not a pronoun - it's just a name/nickname?

Thats interesting, I think they usually means you are non binary (no gender) and is gender neutral. whereas kitty...

Referring to a person as they can be extremely detrimental in many places such as documents and cause a lot of confusion. So while in a private discussion with someone I would call them that if they asked, calling a person ‘they’ officially in documents is a massive detriment.

Yeah I meant what's wrong with calling people who refer to themselves as "kittyself" they? I would've thought they covers everything so it makes the 'kitty' redundant?

 

[quickoats]

Also emoji pronouns are a thing??

Would you call your male friend they every time? You would say he or him right

Yeah of course using he/him she/her. I was referring to all else using things other than 'they', as they seems like it should cover catself and whatever (soz for the ambiguous wording)

Yeah so Im assuming if you are friends with a 'kitty,' (lol) you may want to use kitty as this is more friendly than using they, just like a male or female friend.

Doesn't that just become a nickname and a noun? Pronouns are used in place of a noun or noun phrase.

I understand why you wouldn't say "That is her drink bottle" but what's wrong with "that's their drink bottle"? "That's kitty's drink bottle" is just using a noun in a sentence?

 

[totally_screwed]

I'm sorry but if someone told me their (??) pronouns were "kitty" I would try so hard to not laugh

in fact how can you tell someone your pronouns are "kitty" with a straight face

grammatically it doesn't make sense anyway, like quickoats is saying

Yeah I see what you mean

Yes I get very confused like it was quite funny to me referring to them as them and at times they would get mad if you mistake it but like they get mad. Also yes neo-pronouns is a thing I don’t really get it at al like I get some don’t identify as a gender

 

[stressedadfff]

But like how do I call you “kitty” or “furry” when I’m referring to you. At times it’s v off

Peace and love tho!
