A funny thing about having autism and being trans was that my blunt ass was not super conscious of the social taboos (knowing deadnames, accidentally outing people, your basic cis shit) and it lead to a lot of people not liking me for reasons I could never figure out why, because: These things didn't bother me. I tell people my deadname and my old attempts at passing because I think they're still important parts of who I am. I tell people I'm trans because obviously I don't pass super well, but I also don't really care, actually. Then I went to highschool, and I made a trans friend, and it was the first one I'd had that was trans masc instead of trans femme, and I accidentally made all these mistakes. I didn't realize that, by trying to relate with them and find something to bond over, I'd been making them feel like their identity was in jeopardy, because I'm not exactly a very subtle person.

I never got a chance to directly apologize after I found out what I'd done, but I did change my behavior, and now we're on way better terms.

All this to say: If I can learn to be socially aware for the sake of my peers, you fucks can learn to be mindful of someone's pronouns for the sake of yours.

If Count Olaf can respect his henchpeople by calling them a gender-neutral term so his nonbinary and female henchpeople are included, you can handle gender-neutral terms too.

Are you really gonna be so close-minded that even a heinous villain like Count Olaf is better than you?

no but really the focus on pronouns Determining Actual Gender And Having Unique Social Roles in lgbt spaces is absolutely bizarre and beyond any form of basic material analysis of gender it exists in the real world. like speaking from experience you can literally be a stone butch lesbian who goes out of ur way to exclusively dress in traditionally masculine clothes, who uses a masculine name, who intentionally and explicitly plays a complex and deeply nonconforming gender role as both social performance art and for personal fulfilment, and then get lumped in by other lgbt people in the category of "she/her type" (and, more broadly, if you use she/her and are afab, you inevitably get labeled as 'cis' regardless of your actual gender performance as interpreted by the world writ large) just because you dont care enough about pronouns to determine and enforce the use of any others for yourself

#i think ultimately from a Sincere Gender Studies Position the fixation on pronoun use is a reflection of the performative nature of gender #being taken to its natural extreme by people who read half of gender troubles and both understand that Gender is a Role We Play For Others #and paradoxically wanting to be recognized and respected in that role even though they understand that its a losing game #and further i think that ultimately linguistically pronouns are a hot cultural point in english speaking countries #but the shitty nitty gritty of gender and its identifiers being a construct of colonial import #is that if we lived in a planned culture where such a thing could be mandated we should move to a one-pronoun system without the capacity #for assigned gender roles #not have multiple (countless) pronoun configurations with an Assigned Gender Role for each one #but thats just my two cents

My unpopular opinion is that in languages with grammatical gender like french, it does make sense for Murderbot to be referred to by whatever pronoun is usually used for robots or constructs. (In french, therefore, grammatical masculine.) Because there are no traditional « it » pronouns in these languages for objects, and while there are neo-pronouns, they are things one must choose for themselves. Do you honestly think MB actually spent time thinking about its pronouns?! No it didn’t. On forms it picks « non-applicable ». When people ask it what pronouns they should use, its honest opinion is « why do you even need to talk about me. Just don’t fucking do that. Don’t think about me either. Just fucking stop perceiving me altogether! »

Thinking about what pronouns to use probably makes it way more uncomfortable than letting people call it what they’ve already been calling it. Making a conscious choice about its identity? And telling other people about it??? No thanks bye, it’s just gonna walk into the ocean now, see you never.

Lbr it probably thinks the only bots that get fancy pronouns are comfort units, and the pronouns are probably shoved into them by humans same as everything else. MB would meet a bot using a neopronoun and it would wish it could barf. Because in a language like french, he/him and she/her, when applied to objects, ARE fulfilling the function of the english « it ». Nobody is saying the table is a woman or related to feminity in any way outside of stand-up comedy; when it comes to objects grammatical gender really has fuckall to do with human gender even if we use the same words. Even animal species names have grammatical gender and everyone gets that there are male and female turtles even if the word « turtle » is a female word, it’s not that confusing.

(I know this is strange when your language has different pronouns for people and for objects, but understand that english uses the same word to indicate if I’m addressing one or many people, and that is confusing to me.)

TL;DR; stop harassing international fans for not getting the correct MB pronoun in english right off the bat. Yes in english calling it « he » or « her » or « them » is upsetting because it’s projecting an identity unto it. But same goes for trying to get a foreign language translation to use a pronoun intended to express or showcase an identity (or even a lack of one!). Murderbot has not thought about it this hard, refuses to think about it this hard -> and that is its only canon accurate gender identity.

#the murderbot diaries #taking a bat to an hornet’s nest there but I said what I said #I go by she/her because that’s the default people use for me even tho my own gender identity is also #ugh I would sincerely prefer not to have to deal with this think about it or even be perceived #and I would be hella pissed if a book of my life came out and people got into fights about my pronouns #trying to assign me the most politically accurate agender pronoun possible #when my own choice has always been specifically to let people call me the default because idc #and I don’t want to be identified by any identifier that might indicate I do care #and using a different pronoun even if its a gender neutral one is a CHOICE! #it does indicate a preference! and caring about it enough to pick a word and tell people about it!!! #Murderbot didn’t pick IT that is specifically the point! #it was used for it and MB just kept going with that #I mean imagine it if wrote down a different pronoun on its ID form one day and someone actually called it that #it would set itself on fire #its discomfort at having made a personal choice and the personal choice being respected would be off the charts #maybe it a later book after hella character development but I just don’t see it happening tbh #respect the agenders who just don’t want to get involved and use the pronoun equivalent of the default avatar that came with the account #PLEASE #that is all

HOW HAVE I NEVER NOTICED THIS

LAYTON USES TU FOR FUTURE LUKE BUT SWITCHES TO VOUS THE SECOND CLIVE'S IDENTITY IS REVEALED.

Tu and vous both mean you but Tu implies closeness : in the entirety of Unwound Future, Layton only ever uses Tu with Flora, the Lukes and Claire

#I'm shaking crying throwing up #WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME. #He immediately uses tu for Future Luke which is A LOT #In real life we often stumble trying to know which one to use because vous is distance but also respect like for a boss or teacher #(Everyone except Claire uses vous for Layton because he's a highly educated adult and a gentleman) #Layton must really appreciate and trust Luke. He immediately went 'Oh that's a Luke of course he's a close one' #And it makes sense that he would discard the tu when he finds out that nope this is a total stranger manipulating us all #But also normal people would go from tu (affectionate) to tu (derogatory). Of course Layton doesn't as a gentleman but. Ouch #And he never goes back to tu not even after finding out Clive is the orphan he saved #I'm crying why are you doing that to me. It's so subtle I had NEVER noticed but it's there #Maybe the vous will go back to respect or pleasant distance one day but Clive isn't deserving of a tu. He's not Luke. He's a stranger #I HAVE to do a complete pronoun analysis one day. I've talked about it here and there but I need to do a big analysis #Professeur layton et le destin perdu #Professeur layton #hershel layton #clive dove #Been posting a lot of angst lately oops #Professor layton and the unwound Future #Professor layton and the lost future #Unwound Future spoilers #Lost Future spoilers

ppl get so weird about it/its pronouns. everyone always wants to argue with u about it, as if they're doing you a favor. "don't dehumanize yourself like that" well that's exactly the point innit. i am an animal too, we all are. nice dichotomy idiot moment i guess

#what makes me so different and special #ppl read it as Animal Pronoun (derogatory) where i see it more as Animal Pronoun (honorific) #i am part of the ecosystem too #idk i would never tell anyone that they had to be ok with being called it/it's themselves #i do understand the gravity of it for a lot of people. it historically HAS been used in malice #i understand. but at the same time. those are my pronouns. i don't 'understand' neopronouns either #but i don't go arguing with people who use xe/xyr or whatever. you can be discomforted AND respectful

"I am talking about myself. It’s not something I’m used to doing, so I’m sorry if I’m not very good at it."

whenever i see someone who is like "yes but [x] isnt as oppressed as [y]!!" or "[x] is widely accepted now!!" as a way to like. disregard queer people's experiences. i'm just like. have you been outside? have you been in the real world?

#im just. #infighting is so dumb #'you're tme so you can't talk about-' first of all. we're not tme. transmasc =/= tme. honestly tme is a dumbass label anyway and has just #become a 'progressive' way to ask for agab #what do you think a boy/masc person in a dress reads as to transphobes. you think theyre gonna apologize if i say #'actually im transmasc not transfemme' #thats not how that works- #every time we try to correct our pronouns we get stopped because it's 'inappropriate' and 'uncomfortable' #same with every time we try to explain our gender #and yet there are still people online trying to judge if a complete stranger is 'queer enough' to count #(and if they're 'not' the reaction is like. death threats for some reason??) #and im always like. GO OUTSIDE. PLEASE. #the queerphobe on the bus does not ask for your labels before calling you slurs. the bully harassing you will not stop and apologize if you #try to say 'i'm not [x] actually im [y]' #they do not care. they are full of hate and they have already decided on a target. #also? you have no right to a stranger's labels and life experiences #trying to demand that is already creepy. especially since your goal is to see if they're worthy of respect #ok rant over i think. just. ahhghh

Hang on I have a question what are your pronouns and are you bi? And sorry if this is a weird question you can ignore this if you like just sometimes I would see some of your OC's female and it's kind of getting me curious on what gender you are so again sorry if this is an awkward or uncomfortable question for you

That's fine!! :)x

I'm genderfluid!! It's a more specific transgender, nonbinary label.

I tend to bounce between very masculine, very feminine, somewhere in-between, or anything different that doesn't quite fit those definitions. I use different pronouns each day depending on how I feel!!

BUT, for simplicity sake. I go by He, She, and They pronouns. I like when you mix them in the same sentence!!

For example;

"I bought art from Fizzles today! I love his work, she does good work and I like the way they use such bright colors."

And I am bisexual!! Which is why I Love to run my grubby little bisexual satyr hands on all of your favorite characters and also make them Bisexual.

Like this:

#fizzles answers #i personally do not really find myself vibing with neopronouns #i simply dont think they fit me and my specific experience with my gender #which is okay <:) #respect other peoples pronouns though or ill stomp u with my hooves

[uncanny-tranny]

The whole "it/its pronouns is dehumanizing!" argument is always ironic to me... it's so much more dehumanizing to be told that you don't know what's good for you, others can (and should!) decide what is best for you, and you have no say in the way people treat you. How is that less dehumanizing than going, "oh, okay! I'll use it/its pronouns for you!"
