I thought the 'ze, zir' pronouns were for gender fluid people. Why wouldn't a trans woman use female pronouns? So glad I am old enough to not have to worry about this sort of thing.

Too old to do the polite thing and use the personal pronouns that someone has told you they prefer used for them?

Yes I am a horrible person who hates people and wants to be rude constantly. That is exactly what I was saying :lol:

I have a hard enough time keeping people's names straight. All I ask is there be basic rules that are clear and easy to remember. Having everybody have their own unique pronouns strikes me as a nightmare.

I don't know many people who have asked me to use specific pronouns for them so I think it really isn't that hard. (Actually I don't know anyone at this time.)

Well yeah but we are adults. Even the people who would like different pronouns are not going to get into a big snit over it because people we know are basically mature and know who they are. In a college environment though...*shiver*.

I think you'd just ignore them. I wouldn't bother talking to someone like that unless they gave me a reason to put up with their snowflakeness. -_-

Person noted in blurb I copied - would not communicate with that one.

Yeah, I have a unique pronoun for that person - "nutcase".  :lol:

I'm okay with just, "your excellency".
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I expect everyone to be polite and just remember it.  Until next month, and then maybe I'll change it.
