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?

    My name is zee and been wanting to use ze/zir also but sense nobody can reliably just use she/her for me. Not even they/them I just kinda gave up. If they don’t want to use my pronouns then I start just distancing myself from them.

    Also regardless, they them is for anybody you don’t know the gender of and when someone uses they/them I don’t mind because there’s absolutely no way for them to know unless I tell them.

    Unless I put it in my username or something like that, but even that people don’t read.
