    Not sure where this fits best...

    But what are your pronouns? I'm asking since it's nice to know what we all like to be called.

    And what is your opinion on the neopronouns/nounself pronouns? (I'll provide examples, ae/aer, xe/xem/xer.)

    ---

    My pronouns are they/them/their, yeah, I know my postbit has gender set to female, but I'm too lazy to change the thing. I'm not really okay with she/her anymore, after realizing I'm not cisgender and outside the binary. Unless I state otherwise, they/them is what I go by now.

    I think neopronouns are okay. I was thinking of trying them, but decided they're too confusing for me when I have to learn how to use them properly first myself. I really like the hir pronoun, and the el/er one, too. I'm all for them, and kids discovering what they want in life.

    I'm cisgender, so she/her works for me, although I really don't care if I'm misgendered either.

    I don't consider gender as... important, I guess? Probably my cis privilege shining through, but I've never been one for gender roles and in my ideal world, gender just wouldn't be a big deal so we wouldn't need anything that wasn't he/she/they because those words wouldn't necessarily imply anything about gender, just sex, so that it was easier to tell who you're referring to and so your sentences flow nicer. Ideally, gender shouldn't have to imply anything about a person's personality or what roles they fit into, so misgendering shouldn't be much of an issue. But again, that's my ideal world as a cis person so I don't really feel like my opinion is totally valid here.

    I don't really see the point in neopronouns at all though. imo they sound silly and if I have to memorize a totally unique set of pronouns for every single person, I might as well just never actually use pronouns for them and just use their name every time I refer to them because it would probably be a lot easier for just about everyone, lol. u_u;; The only "neopronoun" I've ever liked is xe/xem/xir because I can understand the need for a singular gender-neutral pronoun in English... but at the same time, I'm also perfectly fine with appropriating they/their for the same purpose since that already happens in conversational English. I think a lot of the neopronouns are so over the top that if anything they make people not want to take them seriously and probably set the gender movement back quite a bit. :s
     
    She/her. That's it.

    Neopronouns need to stop, too. Like Cherrim said I understand the usage of xe/xem/xir as a gender neutral pronoun that isn't plural (they/them/their) but anything other than that is pointless, unnecessary, and honestly counterproductive to the whole gender awareness movement. Pronouns are meant to facilitate communication, and combining a random string of letters because someone feels that they identify more with "ve" than "he" is just so unnecessary.
     
    He/him

    I'm waiting to see if the gender-neutral pronouns will take hold. I don't think they will, and will end up fading away once this phase is over, but I'm still interested in its future.
     
    She/her for me. I'm just a bisexual female who acts like a childish little girl. 8D Just so you know, I lean more towards guys than girls obviously. Then again, those who don't know the visual kei scene would probably say my j-rocker crushes look like girls... so maybe that tells you something about me. O_____O

    To be honest, I've never really gotten into others much. I support the LGBT+ community though, considering I'm part of it. I accept others for whatever they want to identify themselves as. I always do my best to understand them and call them what they want to be called as well.
     
    I'm bigender! He/Him or It/It's, don't use "she" on me, please.
    I personally see no issues with nounself pronouns, if they make someone more comfortable than their pronouns should be respected. I don't think people should "police" pronouns. As long as people are happy that's what matters I think!

    Mine are whatever people use when referring to me, I don't really claim any particular set as my own because I honestly don't care about the whole gender binary thing. If other people want to define themselves with labels like that, then good for them, and if it helps them to think of me using a particular gender pronoun, then that's up to them as well, but it doesn't really affect me.

    To me, people are individuals, not pronouns. It doesn't matter. I honestly think people should spend less time coming up with weird new pronouns and focus more on being individuals than catergorizing themselves in such a fashion, but...well, to each their own. It's not my business and it doesn't affect me, so whatever, I guess.

     
    I go with she/her. I won't divulge into my gender any further.
     
    For most part, I consider myself agender; he/him is the set I use most often for simplicity's sake, unless that changes in the future. I don't necessarily like being referred to as they/them, but it's perfectly fine if used by someone who doesn't know me yet.

    Even though I'd never personally use/don't 100% like neopronouns, I'll respect anyone who uses their own if that's what they prefer. As confusing as they are for me to use when talking about someone else, I'll try my best if doing otherwise would make the other person uncomfortable; I understand that some people just don't like or find the standard he/she/they suitable for them.

    she/her pls thank
     
    Technically she/her because I'm female, or at least do not mind identifying as such (I'm way apathetic about my own gender identity), but honestly, I've long since gone past the point of caring what pronouns are used for me. I'll use she/her for myself because it's what I'm used to writing and I've never felt the need to switch, but seriously, call me whatever you like: he (wouldn't be the first time it's happened), she, they, it...even xe or ze would be acceptable. Doesn't matter one bit to me. :D As long as I know they're referring to me.
     
    I go by she/her pronouns, because I am female (despite my young boy-like voice) and have been since birth. And don't let my occasional male-looking avatars/sigs fool you into thinking I'm a dude.
     
    I'm male, so he/him/his.

    I flat out refuse to call someone a gender neutral pronoun other than they/their/them. I think they're absolutely ridiculous. I don't care how that makes me come across. Offline I have never come across someone who identifies with something other than male or female, so I don't run into any problems with that.
     
    She/Her/Herself are my default pronouns. I've always seen myself as a female and always will; despite anything else that goes on. So please, even if I'm in boy mode or you knew me back in the day before I came out; those are the pronouns I prefer.

    As far as the neopronouns go; I don't use them or support them myself, though I do have a set picked out for those who insist on using them. Sky/Sy/Syself is this set. Do keep in mind though that I will never insist that anyone use this set if they find them awkward, and if you want to use a different nounset please run it by me first if you think you know of one that better suits me.

    It is acceptable to use Singular They/their/themself, as well as the spivak pronouns like xe, ze, or hir if you feel you must.

    I do not support the use of male pronouns and will correct you if you do not have explicit consent from me to use them.
