My best friend also uses she/they. It was hard for some people to understand at first but I don’t think any less of them

you dont need to explain yourself. those are your pronouns. nobody else gets any input on that. put them in your bio :)

I don’t mean to be rude but having an issue with being referred to as her but not she makes zero sense to me. the whole pronouns thing doesn’t make sense tbh unless you’re actually trans

I guess I feel bad? Almost? Bc I don’t rly have any issues with my female body for the most part. I didn’t grow up thinking I was the wrong gender, I don’t even necessarily feel non binary now. I just feel divorced from my gender ig, or alienated from it? I like dressing girly but it feels like perfomance to me, and I don’t seem to be able to relate to many other girls but that just be neurodivergence

So I feel like I’m kinda like, taking attention from people who actually suffer bc of their assigned gender

I think it’s just because I look rly feminine. Like probably more than the average girl bc I wear a lot of lace and pink and bows and skirts, so I feel like people are going to think I’m just lying or something

There is nothing wrong with trying it out too. The way you dress doesn’t have anything to do with your gender. My trans friend is now a guy, but absolutely rocks more “feminine” outfits. Part of his self expression is to feel like a guy wearing a dress

Also as a trans person i love seeing cis ppl or questioning ppl use funky pronouns it literally does not matter. Plus one if the first steps for a lot of ppl in figuring out theyre trans is experimenting with pronouns

Also Ty #1 it’s good to hear from someone non cis. I guess I rly wanna make sure I’m not stepping on the feet of people who have to deal with a lot more shit from society about their gender than I ever probably will. But I agree getting funky with gender, pronouns, etc, is so fun and it helps normalize it

I’m not announcing it just changing the pronouns that are already in my bio. I’m just sensitive bc I got teased a little back when I tried to go by she they in highschool

The thing is I’m not exactly cis. I sorta have an odd relationship with femininity and I feel like she/they pronouns best refer to me. I don’t rly care who uses them, it’s more about me expressing myself

It just doesn’t make sense to me. If nearly 100% of people are already going to call you by the pronouns you want to be called what is the point of expressing it. you are already validated by society? I just don’t get it.

Because it’s a part of my personal identity, just as anything else is. Why put any pronouns in my bio? Bc why not. I would prefer to be referred to with both sets of pronouns and people won’t rly know unless I put it out there

Ppl can be figuring things out yknow. Im transmasc and im not a woman or man but im not nonbinary and i identify as a lesbian. Pretty much all lesbians i know get it but most others dont and thats okay cuz its my identity not the identity other ppl can conceptualize

Non binary typically means no connection with either gender (although this is ofc not true for every non binary person, gender identity is often defined person to person and no two people will have the exact same experience with it) I have no specific issues with my female body. And I engage with a lot of feminine activities, so I don’t really feel non binary, but I also don’t exactly identify with being a woman

I basically don’t fully identify with being a woman but I also don’t fully identify with being non binary. A lot of people who feel like me would probably describe themselves as non binary but I do not
