Some people struggle with my preferred pronouns.
sweatdrop Plus I have a hard time correcting people. Especially if they're gonna sit there and argue with me about it. I do have some friends who use them, and definitely some who have no problem using my preferred pronouns.
I'm doing pretty well, could have been a bit more productive today but all things considered i did ok. it's not completely over yet lol.
yeah i completely understand where you're coming from with that. i still have to go with he/him pronouns when around people i'm not really close to like teachers and classmates.
the main people i'm worried about with my pronouns are people who understand and are open about them, and close friends because i spend more time around them anyways.
i think everyone needs a lazy day now and then, so it's alright that you weren't extremely productive!
i hope you remembered to drink water today!
Yeah sometimes it's too much work to try to explain to certain people. And some people just can't seem to grasp it. Others I think just don't feel they should have to make any effort, but I've learned not to make too big a deal out of pronouns, and focus on more deliberate and more easily-remedied forms of misgendering. Even my own fiancee is new to all this and so I don't give her a hard time about pronouns, but if she calls me "boy" "man" or anything like that I do remind her.
I've been keeping well hydrated, thanks for asking.

right!
yeah with my girlfriend she sometimes will be like "look at this boy he's so cute" and i just look at her and say "kid."
because thankfully i'm young enough to still call myself a kid i think
like sometimes people will be like "yes matt you are the deer boy" and i'll just be "im the deer kid"
Yeah she used to always say "good boy" kind of to mess with me so when she says that I go "I no boy" lol. I mean I wasn't always genderqueer in our relationship so it definitely is something that has taken some getting used to, and some patience on my end. The only "gendered" word im ok with is I have a young daughter and I am her dad. But I explain it as, that has really felt like my role, I was her father, my fiancee was her mother, it has less to do with gender as it does to do with the fact im not the one breastfeeding, who carried her, etc.
right! i understand! in my relationship i wasn't always agender, but i thought i identified as FTM but it didnt fit at all anymore after some time..
and i kind of understand that. honestly when people say i'm a parent of some sort i just correct them to parent rather than dad or mom or something, but it's not like a parent to a child i mean like fish parent and plant parent
bc i have plants all over and i have a big aquarium in my room the fish are my babies
