    Binary pronouns are fucky little signifiers that are way too constrictive and afaik neopronouns work to deconstruct or at least challenge that. Idk about hasan :vivian-shrug:

      AFAIK, pronouns refer to gender expression so he/him, she/her, they/them makes sense as referring to men, women, and nonbinary folks. What do neopronouns do?

      Edit - identity for expression.

          Gender identity is the person that you are, while gender expression is how you present the person that you are to the outside world.

          Thanks for pointing that out. It's such a simple distinction, but it may have helped me a lot.

          I never really understood neopronouns and was always too afraid to ask; this really helped. Thank you!

        Instill explicitly not that in the mind and language of the person addressing the neopronoun user.

        as much as commonly accepted pronouns are a personal decision, they come with expectations and baggage that some people do not want associated with them. Breaking (or ceasing) those expectations is the point

            This iis coming from someone who doesn't use neopronouns herself so take it with a grain of salt

          This is actually making me think a lot.
