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.

Even then I would still respect it because like, why not, but seriously folks this is a non issue

I’ve met one, but I don’t think they were annoying about it? We didn’t interact much outside of class and I think they were fine with they/them pronouns.

like I have friends who use it/its as a secondary pronoun. But idk anybody who ONLY uses that or neos in real life

I was the person and honestly it was really nice using that set. I still wouldn’t mind it, I just also use a more conventional set too now

and personally I think it’s a problem that will end up resolving itself. the language will only adopt as many pronouns that we can reasonably all remember and use effectively. The others will drop out of use in ten years

Frankly I don’t even think it’s a problem to begin with, like it is such a minor thing to respect in casual conversation, it takes so little effort for as rare as this is. Just a goofy thing to make a stink about.
