Transphobes who say their pronouns are beep/boop or something else in their bio underestimate my willingness to adhere to those pronouns

I love the normalization of neopronouns for this reason. Transphobes are just gonna get their "ironic" pronouns used and respected lmao. Neopronouns users were so based for doing this.

A classmate in undergrad once tried to test me by claiming she would only agree to respect nonbinary pronouns if I used Her Majesty as pronouns for her.

She lasted 2 days before she realized I had absolutely zero problem doing exactly that and was too embarrassed to ever argue with me about pronouns in class again.

When I was working at the greenhouse, one of my coworkers was getting flustered because he was a Proper Gentleman who called everyone "Sir" or "Ma'am" and was getting genuinely heated that there wasn't a gender-neutral honorific for nonbinary people like me.

"Well, you could always call me 'Your Majesty'." I said.

As a Joke.

Because in addition to looking and sounding like an older Yosemitie Sam, he took me Extremely Seriously and addressed me as "Your Majesty" for the rest of the summer. Which was hysterical because it was things like "Your Majesty? Where is the fungicide?" and *gestures at me* "You'll have to as Their Majesty about the tomatoes." He also would call every single person he could not immediately identify the gender of "Your Majesty" and also everyone that had neon hair.

So yes, you should absolutely rigorously adhere to someone's pronouns (Especially if they're unusual pronouns), because it's respectful, because it's clowning on assholes, and because it is fucking delightful.

disabled adults don’t have “the brains of children” they have the brains of adults with disabilities. just because you can’t understand the difference doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist

I was talking about being afraid of people leaving me behind because I'm too sick, and my boyfriend just looked at me and said: "It's my choice to be your boyfriend. It's your friends choice to be your friends. You don't have to understand it, but you have to respect our choice. Don't try to make the decision of whether you're worthy of people on their behalf because that's not your decision to make." I think that's an important thing to remember. That whether we're worthy of someone's time and effort is something others can decide for themselves regardless of whether or not we agree with them. There's a lot of peace in realizing that literally all you have to do is accept the love other people choose to throw your way. That you aren't the one who gets to determine that you aren't worthy of their love. That other people can choose to love you regardless of how you feel about yourself - and that you can learn to respect their choice even though you're feeling unworthy.

One day I said out loud, “when we’re apart I think you must hate me, I picture you seeing my name when I text you and heaving this big sigh because I’m so annoying” and he quietly said “that’s a little mean. I wish you wouldn’t picture me that way” and something clicked
