Material difference of specific pronouns? Someone feels better, and I'm out no extra effort, I guess...

It's as much difference as personal preference in chocolate bar brands.

I totally get respecting specific pronouns, no confusion there.

I don't see how the scenario presented in OP is different from wanting to be referred to in the third person.

[-] PyroNeurosis 3 points 1 year ago

Ah! Effectively none.

Which does bring up an unusual case: how should drag be referred to as part of a group? They and drag? Or would just they suffice?

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago

They. It's the same as if you refer to a group of people with a man in it. The "he" is discarded. Drag doesn't use plural independent pronouns.

Some degree of identity erasure is inherent with mass pronouns; interesting question!
