I have pronouns in my bio and email signature because: 1) it normalises this practice; but 2) I have a non-English name and most people don't know what my gender is just based on my name.

Jane Goodall's first scientific paper was sent back to her with amendments, the editor having replaced every "he"/"she" (referring to chimpanzees) with "it", and every "who" with "which". She changed them back, refusing to mark non-human animals as inferior.

Почему местоимения форматируют по типу он/его? Типа, кто-то хочет, чтобы его в именительном падеже называли в одном роде, а в родительном в другом? Почему?
Meanwhile, over in Japan...

The annual Gender Census report is now out for 2025.
There were over 43,000 responses from people whose genders (or lack thereof) are not described by the M/F gender binary. The report details our preferences for identity words, titles, pronouns, and some family words.
The full report: https://www.gendercensus.com/results/2025-worldwide/

I've had updating this on the to-do list for a little while, now.
It's a shame that I only learned of Don Rickter's existence posthumously.
It's alright if you sometimes have to make concessions in regards to pronouns, words, and titles in order deal with life. You're not "giving up," and being addressed properly is still important.
But sometimes people mean well despite mistakes. A person can address you flawlessly and still be bigoted. A set of pronouns in one language may not translate to another.
It's more important to survive than to die striving for perfection.
"Fee! Fie! Fo! Fum! I smell the blood of an Englishman!" Mother read emphatically.
"Mummy, why does the giant say fee, fly, flo, fum?"
"Fee, fie, fo, fum are the giant's pronouns. They're repeated so you remember them."
"What?!"
"Fee is angry because Jack stole fie goose."
"You're just making it up. I want to ask Daddy!"
"You can ask your father later. We'll have to wait for fum to get home."

I'm surprised #trump would let a #transwoman on his team :D
In the category of "little victories": I went to lunch with my mom today. Just a while back she was telling me how nonbinary pronouns were hard and confusing.
Today she was proudly recounting all the queer folx and their pronouns from an art class she TA'd earlier in the week.

Am uploading ones with just a single line, and also with the pronouns reversed (and including She, and probably later Xe and Fae and whatever else)
Not sure if it's a good idea, and NOT safe to wear in some places. But where it is, maybe?
the fact that 'em, the short form of them, is not actually descended from the word them but from the middle English pronoun hem is genuinely mind blowing.

Seine #Pronomen angeben, dass ist doch schon noch ein Ding? Eine #GuteSache !?
Ich war #kürzlich in einer Präsenz-Veranstaltung (theologisches Umfeld). Da war ich zwar auch die einzige Person, die ihre Pronomen mit aufs Namensschild geschrieben hat. Aber zwei andere haben mich drauf angesprochen und sich dafür bedankt.

English needs two versions of "we" and "us": one which includes me and you, and one which includes me and some other person/people, but not you.
Similarly, I wish "you" and "thou" were both still in common parlance. Funny how there's such a pushback about the singular "they" but not the singular "you."
English is a messy language. #disambiguation #english #pronouns
