Jett Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'm in love with the Yo pronoun. It's too much fun to say.My spouse was asking me about nongendered pronouns the other day. I vaguely remembered Xe, but thanks for posting this list. :3 I've never heard the "Yo" one before, but it's hilarious! For polite titles (sir/ma'am), I can't think of any nongendered versions. :/ I was trying to, but there just don't seem to be any, unles you want to sound SUPER FORMAL. "Welcome to McDonald's, Honored Guest" just doesn't sound right. My personal policy is to always attempt to address someone by the gender they seem to be presenting as, even if they don't pass. With androgynous people, that doesn't really work, but I consider that to be a side effect of androgyny - nobody knows how to address you. If that's your thing (like is for me, sometimes), then you're expecting and it's kinda cool. If it's a consquence of being in the middle of a transition, then it kinda sucks. :/ For polite titles, it's probably safe to go with whatever honorific seems to fit the presented gender, and if you honestly can't tell at all, then maybe just leave it off? 1 Quote Current Challenge | Daily Log Link to comment

Allons-y! 4 Quote My username is from Alice, and the queen who has believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. What the hell--let's make it seven. I use female pronouns and masculine honorifics. So: she/hers and sir/mr. I am an (aspirationally) old-school butch, as in Stone Butch Blues (rest in power Leslie Feinberg).

Korra Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I know there's an awesome discussion on pronouns going on here, but I just wanted to say that this thread is a part of why I decided to join NF. I'm attracted to my own gender and other genders (I've decided "queer" is my label preference... It's a step up from months of calling myself "not straight"), and only within the last year figured it out. So thank you all for being the kind of people I wish I could talk to in real life.

I was telling my friends earlier how I need to find a nice girl like Katara to bring home to mom, and they proceeded to tell me to just wait until I got to Korra. Apparently I am going to be doomed to all of doom and death with a billion crushes. 1 Quote Race: Alive | Class: Ranger | Level: 7 | STATS: Whoops~ (Yes, that's totally a stat!

Vella Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 As a huge fan of the original who didn't make it past the first season of Korra (though I am told it improved significantly after so I may try again), this talk of people watching A:tLA only so they can watch Korra makes me very sad Quote Previous challenges: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) Link to comment
