yeah like, tbh i dont fully understand neopronouns, but in the same way i wouldnt wanna be called she or they, someone who uses neopronouns may not wanna be called she, he, OR they, so like.. you can respect it without understanding or hating, yk ⁉️⁉️

I have literally only ever had problems with one set of neopronouns, and that was because they have cultural implications (“fae/faeself” kinda steps on the toes of some Celtic pagans and some of the Gaelic-speaking cultures as well, as the fae are dangerous and already hate people enough as is according to my research [I’m most familiar with the Irish mythos]). That is the only genuine set of neopronouns I have ever had issues with and I’ve yet to meet someone who uses them.

My trans roommate said neopronouns were stupid Just 1 additional thing in a long list of things that made her toxic and shitty even if she’s trans.

Even if/when I do, I’ll just use chosen names, not mention my opinions/takes on pronouns, and go from there. It’s not my life, and it’s apparently pretty unpopular of an opinion to just let people live theirs 🤷

I’ll be so fr I feel fae pronouns are more about like, tinkerbell fairies than the fair folk. Like there’s a big divide between the idea of faeries in modern American culture, where I think the pronouns stem from, vs the whitethorn tree on the edge of town that you can’t cut down because the fair folk guard it

Like I fully get it, but I feel like there bigger issues. Like the British court is charging Mo Chara of the Irish band Kneecap under a anglicised name, instead of his actual Irish name
