I’m someone who goes by Ze/Zir pronouns. I’ve done so for years. I originally went by they/them pronouns but I didn’t like them much and they just don’t feel right for me. When I discovered neopronouns they just felt right. Unfortunately I haven’t had much luck getting people to refer to me by my preferred pronouns.
Even here on Lemmy lots of people still refer to me by they/them or worse she/her. It feels really bad. Does anyone else on here struggle with this?


For me personally, I prefer usernames since they’re immutable and unique per instance. I feel like actual pronoun tags would be a good feature, but then that’d be another thing only a subset of clients implement.
Unlikely that’ll happen since most of the threadiverse developers are very strange about trans people.
