DU pronoun check-in(for those who feel comfortable doing so)

[Ken Burch]

It has become common in a lot of groups to ask people which gender pronouns they wish to be referred to. As far as I know, we've never had a GD thread where that has been done, and in the name of keeping DU the most respectful place it can be(well, to each other that is)and I thought I would invite everybody who wants to do so to state what pronouns t8hey wish to be referred to by.

For myself, I mostly use "he/him pronouns", but will use a universal pronoun if one is ever developed, and have just decided that since the term is gender-neutral, I'm open to being referred to as "they" if that helps create a greater sense of inclusion.

So, this is open now to anyone who wishes to post in that vein.

1. If I am in any doubt whatsoever...

I use they they/their/them... It's easy and far less ugly than he/she, which also leaves out the inter-sex and those who identify as gender fluid/neutral.

Just my 2 cents

4. I've taken to doing that myself.

Just thought it might be helpful to know what people here prefer...but, obviously, only if people are comfortable in doing so.

2. I'm more concerned about adjectives

It's usually "F'ing" and it usually precedes "ba*tard."

7. I am just a simple man

Women are she. Men are he. The 2 people I know who have changed from male to female they went from he to she. Anyone meeting them now would never guess they had not always identified as female.

If someone I know personally ask me to do refer to the as something different I will seriously consider it.

Not something I think about. Just practice good manners.
