Hee/Haw along with your phone number. - zunk xometimes Mar 31, 11:37
I just added he/him at the end of my social profiles -- nm - Krusty Mar 31, 11:18 3
- do we think I need "she/her/hers" or just "she/her"? -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 31, 11:26 2
  - Honestly I think the point comes across fine with just (she), I’ve never understood why it remains common practice to include more than that. -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 11:51
  - I feel like her covers hers but I don't see an issue adding it. I thought he/him felt and looked right. Didn't even think to have his. -- nm* - Krusty Mar 31, 11:48
Bery should add pronouns to ST! -- nm - Mop Mar 31, 11:18
I am new to his stuff. But why not Mr. or Ms.? -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 11:17 35
- The idea for cis people doing it is to normalize it. If only trans people "have to specify" pronouns by definition it is not "normal." -- nm - Dano Mar 31, 11:19 34
  - would Mr./Sir be bad? -- nm - Max Mar 31, 11:22 33
    - I feel like Mister/Mister would be so much worse. -- nm - IAmQale Mar 31, 11:51 3
      - I feel like I've lost the Hz frequency kids can hear. I just can't see what's different between the two. -- nm - Max Mar 31, 11:58
      - it is the road that he must travel. -- nm - Reagen Mar 31, 11:55
      - Welcome to the real world -- nm - JaxSean Mar 31, 11:53
    - One thing I have noticed is there really isn’t a non-gendered equivalent form of address to Sir or Ma’am. -- (edited) - znufrii Mar 31, 11:39 1
      - But in this context does there need to be? If the point is to help clarify, Mr. or He does the job. 'They' clarifies that way. Everyone's clarified? -- nm - Max Mar 31, 11:44
    - I don't think it would necessarily be "bad." In my experience, any effort is appreciated by most. - Dano Mar 31, 11:32
    - Kind of has an "all lives matter" feel to it to me. - Dark Callisto Mar 31, 11:24 25
      - Maybe I read this wrong, but would my using "Mr." be different than my using "he/him"? -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 11:30 24
        
        I guess it’s fine if you expect people to refer to you with a formal honorific... -- (edited) - znufrii Mar 31, 11:35
        
        he/him is common language. you aren't referred to as "Mr." that often. they aren't interchangeable -- nm - Andie Mar 31, 11:33 22
        
        I think I just realized what throws me off about labeling myself as he/him - it sounds like I'm talking about someone else. - Max Mar 31, 11:47 10
        
        You’re pointing at the wrong question. It’s how you want to be referred not, not how you want to be addressed. -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 11:54 8
        
        I *think* he is saying what I am saying. By choosing Mr. Spawn, I am saying he/him. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 11:58 7
        
        this. This just makes sense. "He/him" looks clunky and makes me have to pause a sec and calculate what's going on. -- nm - Max Mar 31, 12:03 1
        
        I am one that is usually in the camp of *not* reinventing the wheel. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 12:10
        
        And that’s probably fine to indicate by implication, but comes across to me as a bit formal for common usage. -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 12:01 4
        
        I meant for the purposes of an email signature. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 12:09 3
        
        Again, seems a bit formal. -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 12:19 2
        
        vs aesthetics of adding a Pronouns line -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 12:23 1
        
        Which has nothing to do with formality as I see it, that’s just providing additional information. -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 12:33
        
        Yeah, as I said, simple. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 11:48
        
        Okay. I just thought it more easily stated what pronouns I chose. But I guess there is no easy to this one. Thanks. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 11:39
        
        i know a few people that do he/him/they/them.. some people use multiple. - colin Mar 31, 11:34 9
        
        That seems excessive. -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 11:52 1
        
        knowing them, it seems right though.. -- nm - colin Mar 31, 12:19
        
        If you're going he+they, shouldn't you logically go "he/him/she/her/they/them"? -- nm - Max Mar 31, 11:49
        
        I always took that as they prefer "they/them," but if it's not possible go with masculine. Is there a gender neutral word for Aunt/Uncle for example? - Dano Mar 31, 11:39 5
        
        I call my sister's child my "nibling." -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 31, 11:46 4
        
        (So pibling instead of Aunt/Uncle?) -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 31, 11:48 3
        
        Ancle? Unt? -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 11:58 2
        
        So what about grandma/grandpa? -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 11:59 1
        
        Grandy -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 31, 12:06
Hmmm... - Pat Mar 31, 11:14 1
- Like anyone has cared enough to refer to you in decades. -- nm - IAmQale Mar 31, 11:55
Here's mine... (minus all the contact-y stuff) - Dark Callisto Mar 31, 11:13 1
- thanks -- nm - JaxSean Mar 31, 11:18
It's pretty simple - ty97 Mar 31, 11:08 9
- Correction - Inigo Mar 31, 11:44 1
  - heh -- nm - JaxSean Mar 31, 11:50
- That's presumptive of you. -- nm - Dano Mar 31, 11:16 1
  - heh, I did think that as I posted it. -- nm - ty97 Mar 31, 11:18
- update: I can get away with only $144.33 if I want. easy peasy. -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 31, 11:10
- update: I can get away with only $144.33 if I want. easy peasy. -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 31, 11:10 3
  - But why not go with the original goal? - ty97 Mar 31, 11:11 2
    - oh I could do that. but the $144.33 is actually "acceptable." the orig goal is "exceptional." -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 31, 11:12 1
      - MUG vs MUG+ ? -- nm - Baron on the Cairn Mar 31, 11:20
I would just do (in my sig only) "amanda jeans (she/her)." -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 31, 11:08 1
- I've seen this in the wild -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 31, 11:10
