I’m ngl, it honestly bothers me even more when cis people close to me misgender me with neutral pronouns. Like. You are literally proving to me that you are fully capable of changing the pronouns you use for me, and you decide to pick another incorrect set?
What does that say about your respect for my autonomy or self determination, that you choose to “meet in the middle” on matters that harm me deeply and only mildly inconvenience you?
Genuine question here: how do I correct my parents using they/them for me and my partner without causing an argument?
I am trying to be patient with them but it will be a full year since I’ve been out to them next month, and they seem to have given up entirely on our correct pronouns. They used to at least try for he/him, and often make mistakes.
Since they’ve decided to use they/them, I’ve been called she/her as a “slip up” much more often. They’re moving backwards, and it is quite painful. I don’t know how to bring this up without getting a response of “we’re doing our best” “this is really hard for us” etc
Also this really does illustrate my point that when cis people misgender with neutral pronouns, they are doing it for their comfort. Don’t buy into their attempted bs claiming otherwise.
