    He, She, they etc.

    Do you guys have pronouns that you preferred to be called?

    It can kinda get a bit confusing being online and all (not to mention sometimes you can't tell if a person is a guy or a girl on the internet), but I sometimes feel bad and awkward when I call someone "he" when they prefer to be called "she" or "they".
     
    My pronounce is , " that boy or that girl or that girl who has a beautiful voice"

    well, just put some description with he or she.

    Nope. I don't mind if people use he, she, they, or whatever else to refer to me; I don't really identify with either sex or any particular ideology or whatever else people use to explain their pronoun preferences. I just let people pick what is most comfortable for them on an individual basis and let them get on with it...it's all the same to me.
     
    your highness / your majesty / your excellency

    But seriously, I don't really care what other people use with me. I've not made it easy for people in the past, but I'm comfortable enough with who I am that I can shrug it off. I try to use "they" or nothing with other people though so I'd probably prefer "they" because it's all-inclusive.

    That's just about how I feel about the whole pronoun thing. It's not like I show my gender openly on here, and it's not out of shyness, fear or anything like that. It's out of my lack of care for whatever you call me. I don't see a point in having to go through the trouble of stressing that I am the opposite or something completely different to what somebody else has claimed I am on the internet, as we can't really see each other anyway. Mistakes are bound to happen, anyway. As for other people, I also say "they", as it doesn't really leave anybody out.

    He, she, it, swamp monster, as long as you have some method of addressing me, I have no problems at all.
     
    They/them or he/him. I prefer they, but he is cool with me.

    Please don't use it on me. Makes me uncomfortable.

    My gender on here is female but I'm still rather fluid (You could say I'm "primarily" female) so I am okay with being called he, she or they. I'm pretty cool with anything unless you call me "it", then there's a problem.
     
    I was thinking of making a somewhat bigger post about pronouns ideology and stuff but most things have already been said and I suppose talking about pronoun ideology is something I generally avoid

    She/her for me.

    I'll address others with they/them as long as I'm unsure on how they identify as.
     
    Some people think I'm a girl, but my preferred pronoun is "he/him."

    Irl, maybe its because of the hair, but online, idk why. (I am biologically male)
     
    I prefer she/her and like somewhat like Reunilu said, I'm not really secretive about what I am and am kinda open about it.
     
    My sex and gender are both male, but I have a feminine face and am often mistaken for a girl, and will sometimes be referred to as a female, which doesn't bother me - I only really get annoyed when I'm with other people and they here and then giggle because I got called a girl, because I don't care, or when the person who called me a feminine pronoun realizes they were wrong and then corrects themselves, like it just makes the whole situation awkward to me.

    That said, I really don't like being called by male pronouns. Like, I don't care either way if you use male pronouns, but I do like the way gender neutral pronouns sound - so I guess you could say I prefer being called by gender neutral pronouns, or just simply by my name, but I'm not overly bothered at all. I still identify as male (to an extent anyway), so go ahead and use whatever male or neutral pronouns you feel like.

    The only thing I really don't like being called is "dude", and I never have. Even though in like recent years it's been given more a universal term rather than male orientated, but I still feel uncomfortable when people call me a "dude", and to an extend it just doesn't feel right when I hear others refer to other people as a dude. I don't know I'm weird. I did have this issue with the word "mate" when I was like 14/15, but I grew out of that, so maybe I'll become more accepting of the word dude one day.


    EDIT: Oh, and reading through the thread, never call me or anyone else by the term it. That's just plain rude and dehumanizing.
