I don’t fully understand Neo pronouns. Can someone who uses them possibly educate me on them? Like ik gender isn’t binary and that sex and gender don’t equate. I just never met anyone who used Neo pronouns
Pronouns are fine. If you want she he or them that’s cool I don’t care. But when you start demanding “xem” or “this one” please fuck off.

It’s just an alternative choice of pronouns often used by neurodivergent kids trying to figure out their life. Being trans is usually never a phase, but I’ve noticed neopronouns like this tend to fade in and out of people’s lives

It's a largely performative and almost exclusively online phenomenon

It’s when someone uses words that don’t already exist in the English lexicon to give a uniqueness to their pronoun

Same. I just never understood Neo pronouns. I’d like to be educated by someone who uses them

I mean like it’s a touchy subject. I personally won’t deny someone the respect because I don’t understand the way they chose to identify. I wasn’t rlly raised that way. So I’m making an effort to understand it. Cause I’ve seen it online and in videos where they’re “making fun of the left and look how crazy libs are” but I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t use he/him, she/her, they/them.

I’m saying this from a queer perspective btw, not a chud one. I find Neo-Pronouns to be insincere, self-aggrandizing, pretentious, gives off an air that you are too good to share pronouns with others.

I’m glad you’re at least being open to this idea, they’re eating me alive in that thread. The person who I’m talking about who did happen to have these on our discord also happened to be an evil bitch

At the end of the day I’ve never seen anyone over 18 use neopronouns, people are mostly clowning on tumblr kids

No worries!! It’s a really niche corner of the internet where these kids unironically use neopronouns tho, it’s mostly used as a strawman to gatekeep being trans which I don’t think is okay

A bit embarrassing to admit but I used to use it/its in addition they/them, just cause I liked how it sounded. That’s since exited my life, but the feeling that drove me to try it out is still there. Neopronouns are kind of just an experiment for the most part ahaha
