"When someone is referred to with the wrong pronoun, it can make them feel disrespected, invalidated, dismissed, alienated, or dysphoric ( often all of the above.) "

This list has not been updated. Bae/Boo not being there is literally a hate crime and is getting super side eye from me. White people injecting their racism into their lists of their software again. White people have computers, black people have sand. That's the wealth gap of the elite white US males.

Decided to look one of these up and I still have no idea wtf it is

Fae/faer pronouns are the most commonly used noun-self pronoun to my knowledge. Their coining can be found here.

Complete Set:

Objective: Fae
Subjective: Faer
Possessive Adjective: Faer
Possessive Pronoun: Faers
Reflexive: Faerself

Examples:

He is my friend → Fae is my friend
I saw him yesterday → I saw faer yesterday
This was his request → This was faer request
That book is his → That book is faers
He loves himself → Fae loves faerself

She is my friend → Fae is my friend
I saw her yesterday → I saw faer yesterday
This was her request → This was faer request
That book is hers → That book is faers
She loves herself → Fae loves faerself

Common Mistakes:

Fae/faer is singular unless otherwise specified
Say “fae is/fae’s” not “fae are/fae’re”
This mistake is made a lot because fae/faer has a similar vowel sound to they/their
Don’t assume two pronoun types are conjugated the same way just because they are in another pronoun set
For example, the possessive adjective and possessive pronoun in he/him/his are both “his,” but in fae/faer, they are not the same, similar to other sets like she/her and they/them

Lol

I downloaded an app once, it was about movies and tv stuff, before using I had to fill a registration and among the questions was my gender, I swear, there were like 30+ options, it was absolutely ridiculous, I uninstalled it.

 

[cormack12]

I think most of these are ancient from like the 50's and were replaced with they/them as the most popularly adopted term, because people rejected the others. Also terms like 'ze' are problematc in that it's often used to take the piss out of other nations - e.g. ze germans, ze french etc

WTH is Bae/Boo? Robot talk “Bae Boo Beep Boo Beep” , speaking of robots I‘m pretty pissed they don’t have a option to those that Identify as a machine.

 

[poppabk]

“They, Them” covers not knowing someone’s gender. No reason for that made up word.

Nah 'they, them' is just confusing if people are using them as singular pronoun as they are already used for plurals.
- see, even that sentence becomes confusing

 

[MasterCornholio]

So what happens if you're altogether Andrews?

"Andrews has eight personalities and none of them answers to the name "Andrews"; the Duck Man, the intellectual among the Crew, is of the opinion that Andrews had been just an average psychic man with too many spirits possessing his body and overrunning his own personality. "

This reverse gif with the long pause on that smile is just the best, love it

 

[Amory]

'please ask' lol

I don't know anyone who uses alternative pronouns but if I did Id like to think I'd try to use what they wanted. But why's there like 40 sets just pick one and throw the full support of the community behind it.

Who cares? Just select your option and move on (or leave if a tiny dropdown menu bugs you that much).

Took the words out of my mouth. I dont know why people make a mountain out of this stuff.

Because it‘s dumb and there are only 2 biological genders, male or female.
Of course you would be OK with this, resetera has poisoned you.

Is that a Bernie Sanders forum?

 

[pixelation]

2020 is weird.

 

[Compsiox]

Wait. Some people identify as an object with it/its?

 

[Bigrx1]

At one point this "they" even says it's an act of violence to not refer to it as it's proper pronoun.

Ill admit im not super knowledgeable on the subject, but it just seems something that is super harmless that doesn't hurt either parties. Life is short in this world let people refer to themselves however they wish as long as its not hurting you.

 

[Kamina]

The problem is that they expect normal people to support their lunacy by addressing them with with their silly invented pronouns or otherwise they will be offended and throw a public “it’s ma’am”-like tantrum.

One's freedom ends where another's begins. Forcing other people to go along with made up states of mind by learning new ”fanfiction”-grammar that you cant even use in everyday live because you can never know beforehand, born undoutedly out of psychological issues is just one step too far.

That example is an extreme outlier and not something I would want to base my opinion on. Someone with actual gender dysphoria (a mental illness) snapping like the it’s ma’am cunt is very rare and shouldn’t really be a part of the conversation.

I think we are almost on the same page except the actual issue isn’t the chance that someone will throw a tantrum in public, which is what basing your opinion on the it’s ma’am person implies. The problem is writing any form of compelled speech into law.

Understanding this simple fact means that TaySan and Kamina , who might seem worlds apart in their opinions on the surface, are actually arguing in favor of the exact same position: freedom for the individual is paramount, as long as it doesn’t infringe on the freedom of others.

 

[The Scrivener]

And like apparently 'xer' means you don't know the gender of the person.

The disconnect between science and humanity. We had something already called "common sense" that took care of this problem.

 

[Kenpachii]

Select something, make a topic tell them u identify as a tree or some shit and u are offended they don't offer it and want a ban because u don't want to be part of this alt right disgusting community.

Sit back, get some popcorn and have a good laugh.

 

[Knch]

Wait wtf? I didn't know there's a group of people completely opposed to the idea of pronouns and demand to be called by name only...

What the frik

It being considered rude to refer to a person in the third person is news to you? Really?

[eot]

But these are just made up nonsense words that don't mean anything to most people. The point of gendered pronouns isn't to reflect how people feel internally anyway, it's a distinction we make in language to identify people (not for people to form their identity). If some girl has a blue shirt and insists on it being aquamarine, it's not going to stop people from calling it blue.

They can refer to themselves as magic, alien, time travelling space ships if they want. Just don't expect me to take that stupid shit seriously. I will point and laugh if they do.

 

[Airola]

How the fuck would "Please ask" even work on a forum? Before you reply to anybody you must first ask them what made up gender they feel like that moment, is there a time limit to reply to them with that pronoun with before they move onto the next one? like some sort of google gender authenticator.

It's the modern day douchebag answer.

 

[M1chl]

What the fuck is "fae"? Is this like a male furry.

Well what the fuck is everything on that list, but "fae" is something I find the most scary of those entries.

 

[oagboghi2]

Why should it not be part of the conversation?

 

[Kamina]

Okay, new question guys:
Which one should I choose? I am undecided.

 

[Skyfox]

Just say them their they if you think its unclear. Otherwise stick to the usual.

All the weird made up garbage words will never catch on and will just make anyone using them look like a mental patient.

 

[Saber]

How many gender options can possibily exists? Holy crap.

I'm kinda scaried with that list.

 

[Kamina]

Just went back snd check the forum again.
There is a Generfield in adition to the Pronoun field:

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

Male

Female

I'm an attention seeker look at me give me attention

 

[darkinstinct]

But I really identify as a helicopter. Please recognize me. flap flap

There's 100 genders remember just tell them you want identify as penguin they fucking freak at that.

Maverique sounds dope I'll go with that one

 

[GreyHorace]

The Pronoun dropdown list had the following options:

Spoiler

Can I ask a serious question to any transgender people here?

Would it really offend you if I refused to use your preferred pronoun?

Look, I'll bend the knee a bit out of respect. If you're a guy who's transitioned to being a woman, I'll call you she, her. The same if you're girl who's transitioned to being a man. I'll use he, him.

But I absolutely refuse to use such nonsense such as fae, xir, they, its, xe, ze or whatever alien language they come up with.

 

[JSoup]

I normally just leave those blank and always have. If it forces me to mark something, I just pick it/it's (which I predicted would eventually be on the pronoun list years ago). I'm pretty good at speaking in third person.

 

[Jack Videogames]

Maverique

Maverique is a gender identity that falls under the nonbinary umbrella term. It is defined as an identity that is not the absence of gender, or an apathy towards gender, but a present feeling of gender. This feeling of gender is completely independent from male, female, neutral, or anything derived from any of them.

I think I'm going to multiclass into Paladin/Maverique for the extra Dex

 

[Mihos]

There should be a feature to auto-ignore based on selection.
