Hey everyone.
I just wanted to take a minute to discuss pronouns and how they correspond with gender.
Firstly, I just want to say that pronouns do not equal gender.
For example, A nonbinary person (like me) could use any pronouns they want. People think that girls HAVE to use she/her only, boys can ONLY use he/him, and nonbinary people/anyone else can only use they/them pronouns. This is a more common misconception than many are aware of.
You could use any pronouns you want. If you want to use he/she/they, he/they, she/he, xe/they, etc. its okay. You can be a girl and use he/him and its alright.
I mainly want to focus on nonbinary people, though, and anyone else who falls under the nonbinary/transgender spectrum. As I mentioned, nonbinary people don't have to just use they/them. Some use neopronouns or xenopronouns, and others use she/her and he/him. Whatever pronouns make you comfortable are 100% okay.
I know most people probably already knew this, but I still see people saying "what, you're nonbinary? Why aren't you just using they/them pronouns then? Guess you aren't nonbinary".
Also, I know these posts are probably odd, but I see so many homophobes and transphobes getting angry over things they are incredibly mistaken about.
