But.... I want to join the pronoun cuddle circle :(

[-] TotallynotJessica 16 points 5 days ago

I wouldn't mind a cuddle circle, but as an egg I always hated when we were forced to give our pronouns. Even though I have an answer now, I still don't like them

Asking because I am often the person who leads the introductions IRL, if I say, "Name, pronouns if you'd like to share, and <third thing>", does that feel like you have enough of an out?

[-] TotallynotJessica 7 points 5 days ago

That's fine, and those circles have gotten better in recent years. It's just that when I was trying to figure myself out, they more often required you to not skip over questions

That makes sense :/

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

I totally get it. It's why I try to just avoid either asking for them, or using them irl, if a person hasn't volunteered them or otherwise made their gender known.

I've run into enough people that have issues with pronouns that it made me question how necessary it really is to use them. There's times it's unavoidable if you don't want to do language gymnastics that make things more awkward and uncomfortable, but it's kinda surprising how often it's avoidable once the habit forms. Not that I always remember, but still.
