For all trans people who use pronouns other than she/her or he/him:
Have you ever had someone tell you that no one in the ‘real world’ will respect your pronouns, or that even using them is ‘unrealistic’?
Take a look at this poster hanging up in my workplace, which is definitely in the real world:
Singular they and neopronouns are definitely respected and worthy of respect.

Hi this is a post for trans and nonbinary people who get nervous that people only gender your correctly/use your pronouns/name when they’re around you but misgender you behind your back
I got an email from my boss recently (I’m out at work). She was forwarding me a thread from someone in another department and had mentioned me as possibly being able to help them. At the time of writing it, she would not have been thinking I would see it at all.
And guess what?
She used they/them the whole time. A few short sentences with my pronouns in a setting where misgendering me would have had no consequences.
Remember that the people who care about you will do the same.
Your anxieties about how cis people see you are valid, but they’re just that--anxieties. Relax and remember that you and your identity are loved.

Hi this is a reminder to nonbinary people who are questioning their sexuality that most common sexuality labels were created with the binary in mind and its okay to not connect with them. Its okay to not be able to parse what the ‘same gender’ or ‘opposite gender’ or even ‘different gender’ means to you. Its okay to use small labels, its okay to coin your own labels. Being uncommon does not make your experiences less real or less worthy of respect.

I hope all people with culturally specific genders know that they are valid, loved, and real, no matter what the western gender binary has to say
