| Dec 18, 2019 at 23:50 | comment | added | aparente001 | @ColleenVpartedways - I learned a set yesterday that was new to me. It was probably mentioned here but maybe I wasn't paying good attention. Their = eir, them = em, they = ee, for him or herself: emself. // Is the hurt coming from people drawing lines in the sand (not using them is disrespectful ... they feel all wrong to me and I refuse to use them [which is not your position]), or something else? | |
| Dec 18, 2019 at 21:43 | comment | added | ColleenV | @aparente001 But I don’t think the solution is “less than ideal”. I think the neopronoun solutions that are currently being implemented are terrible, divisive solutions that are hurting some people unnecessarily. That said, I would not contribute to that hurt by refusing to use someone’s pronouns. People more important than disagreements over how best to achieve some goal. I can be kind and respectful to an individual without having to accept everything they believe or forcing them to accept everything I believe. | |
| Dec 18, 2019 at 4:20 | comment | added | aparente001 | There's good stuff here, but "terrible" does make me uncomfortable. Not uncomfortable as in, I need to flag this, but uncomfortable as in, I have a hard time upvoting this despite the paragraphs I really like. Your analysis is a breath of fresh air; the last paragraph is great (but makes me sad, since it's sometimes been difficult or impossible for me to get needed support from moderators --and "Contact Us" is useless when there's no response for weeks or months). "Terrible" is a strong word, coming from you. I'd jump to upvote "I personally think neopronouns are a less than ideal solution". | |

| Nov 18, 2019 at 22:02 | comment | added | ColleenV | @BelovedFool I did debate putting it in there, but this question is very relevant to why I think neopronouns are a bad solution. I don’t think the people who like neopronouns as a solution are bad people or shouldn’t advocate for a solution they like. And of course I would not state my opinion about them in a way I thought would make someone who has those pronouns feel disrespected. I should be able to state my opinion without you taking that to mean I am attacking you. | |

I don't see how it's helping your answer and I also feel personally attacked by it since I use "neo-pronouns" in my native langage. | |
