Beyond 'he' and 'she': 1 in 4 LGBTQ youths use nonbinary pronouns

[quote] The survey also found that 4 percent of respondents use "neopronouns," including ze/zir, xe/xim and fae/faer, or combinations of the terms with other pronouns.

[quote] refusing to use neopronouns IS misgendering. not everyone like they/them pronouns.

Welcome to 2020, when not wanting to wear a pink tutu or play with Tonka trucks triggers an identity crisis, the denial of biological sex and the insistence that others rework language and grammar to cushion us from self harm.

I tell my non-binary students I am always happy to use they/them, but if they want me to use neopronouns then I will refer to them only by their names. Life is too short to play people's little games.

I dont mind the "they" stuff too much, but the "xir"/"neo-pronouns" is complete bullshit.

[quote] ze/zir, xe/xim and fae/faer

This kind of stuff is the nose ring or tongue stud of the 2020s... when they grow up, 99% of will at least put it behind them and a big chunk of them will embarrassed they ever did it to begin with.

It's going to be their world, and they'll shape however they want. That said, I've never heard of "neo-pronouns" before. I don't think I like them much, but I'm old, and no one cares what I think.

Just refer to everyone as SIR or MADAM and watch the sparks fly.

The survey was done by The Trevor Project. They do good work with the kids, but you think there could possibly be an agenda there?

Show me a survey not done by an LGBTQIAALMNOP organization that isn't heavily invested in inflating the numbers of the population they serve, and we'll talk.

[quote] fae/faer

No. Someone wants Xe/Zir whatever Its not my issue. But I don't think I'd be able to respect someones right to want to identify as magical elf without laughing halfway through. Its the same as those pretentious lesbians that want to be called Sapphics.

It's a fad.

3 in 4 DLers don't care.

cunt/bastard are my pronouns

by Anonymousreply 17July 31, 2020 5:35 PM

Drop this alphabet shit and just say gay.

In fact, ban all human sexuality other than homosexuality. This is non-negotiable.

Fucker is the pronoun they'll get from me.

by Anonymousreply 19July 31, 2020 5:50 PM

My g-nd-r is bitch, my pronouns are "fuck," "you," and "asshole."

by Anonymousreply 20July 31, 2020 5:52 PM

How about just a genderless “it” for these morons...

by Anonymousreply 21July 31, 2020 5:53 PM

Agreed. Call them all "Cousin It."

Well, teenagers change their mind all the time.

But i find difficult to believe these polls. I remember a recent one that said that almost 50% teens in Uk identify as not straight, and i have a really hard time to believe that specially when a good percentage of gays and lesbians don't fully accept themselves till they are in college

This hilarious comedy skit reveals the inanity of these made-up pronouns.
