Pronouns

Massive · 04-28-2010, 05:46 PM

I pretty much get called 'sir' all the time now, but I don't have a problem with it, and I've noticed that some people just can't get their heads around calling me "Hy" which is my personal preferred pronoun, but, at the end of the day, I don't mind, as long as whatever I'm referred to with or called is respectful and not "Oy lesbian!" ...
(But that's just me and my lack of desire to be called a lesbian, cos I'm not one)
I think pronouns are a very personal thing, and it depends on the culture and/or where you're from, the UK's slowly catching up, and I mean slowly, but I'm still waiting for the day when I don't have to explain GenderQueer in words of three syllables or less

Nope, I don't get "offended" by anyone calling me the incorrect pronoun that I prefer, which is SHE. However I don't like the assumption that because I am butch that I use the HE pronoun. To each their own I suppose.

I require male pronouns. I find the female pronouns as a sign of disrespect and the person using them as being really rude.

I am just to the point that I don't care who calls me what. People don't know how I identify in my own head, so how are they supposed to know how to address me? So, call me he/she or whatever..hell, call me a he-she, I don't care...just be nice to me is all I ask.
