PRONOUNS ARE NOT AN EXPRESSION TOOL.
Pronouns are based off your gender, and gender exists on a fucking MALE-FEMALE spectrum! If you don’t want to use gendered pronouns, use “they”! If you don’t want to use “they” because of stigma, here’s an idea- fight the stigma. Don’t add more stigma to being transgender.
If you want to express yourself, use your name, clothes, and car.
BUT DO NOT MAKE IT FUCKING HARDER FOR TRANSGENDER PEOPLE TO GET WHAT THEY NEED.
…seriously, if you look in the right places, you can see people ON THIS TRASH PIT testifying to how Tumblr Pronounblr has negatively affected them trying to get HRT or surgery, or to even just be taken seriously!
It’s affected how I see transgender people at my school! I don’t take them seriously because of this trash pit of a website and its obsession with making gender into a label.
If I AM trans (something I’m not passing judgement on yet), and decide to transition and I’m not taken seriously because of Tumblr’s stupid fad, I’ll actually fucking KILL SOMEONE
Honestly. I’m fucking seething.
