I really hate how transness is always flattened and reduced so that the cis can understand it.

The most current iteration of it is cis people being told that "they/them" are THE "nonbinary pronouns".

It don't work like that lol

First of all:

📣pronouns do not equal gender

You can be non binary and use she/her or he/him pronouns.

And many non binary ppl use she AND they, or he AND they.

Some non binary ppl use she, he AND they altogether. And like you to mix it up when referring to them.

As an aside, I'm fairly sure some cis lesbians use he/him pronouns too? So it's not even just a trans thing. And we all know cis gay men who love to be she/her.*

*Though I'm not studied enough to know how comparable the two are or historical contexts etc

SECONDLY 📣📣📣📣📣📣📣📣📣📣

Neo. Pronouns. Exist.

Many non binary people use neo pronouns, *not* they/them.

Neo pronouns are alternative pronouns people use because language. Is. Allowed. To. Evolve.

Examples include: Ze/Zir and Ey/Em

Pronouns are just about what bits of language feel most comfortable to us. They do not in and of themselves necessarily determine gender.

And that's the Gender 101 class for the cis today lol.

There are no de facto male pronouns. No de facto female pronouns. No de facto nonbinary pronouns. Just pronouns that people like you to use for them. It's that simple.
