I wanted to say that I appreciate drag being out there with neopronouns, we may disagree on some things, but I still stand by you on this. Fuck the haters, they're showing their whole ass.
I also appreciate drag pushing the bounds on language, even if it sometimes became hard for me to read. I'm better off for having to think a little more about things anyways.
Part of the reason I have solidarity with drag is because I've also received a lot of shit over the years from people misgendering me because they don't like my political opinions (real or imagined). It's never acceptable, even if you think the person has some sort of hidden agenda- it just upholds transphobia as socially acceptable.
Can you explain to the curious why it would be a neopronoun, as opposed to referring to oneself in third person?
What's the difference?
Drag is a person-independent neopronoun. Drag is using the first person to refer to dragself, it just doesn't look different from using third person because it's the same pronoun. The difference between a pronoun and a noun is that a pronoun is a shorter word standing in for a noun. The noun is Dragon Rider, and the pronoun is drag.
People have to learn people's names (noun), so asking people to learn a pronoun once they know you doesnt seem like a big ask to me. If sharing how you want to be referred to like drag does was more normalized, it would certainly make some things way easier for me, a transfem who gets default he/himmed all the time. I am glad drag shares this.
Drag thinks everyone should have the right to use their own pronouns. So drag supposes that drag must think everyone is more important than you think they are.
