I try to respect whatever pronouns someone uses, but to be honest I still have a certain degree of difficulty w/ some of it. Mostly w/ the use if they/them. But Im working on it, ok? I suspect if I were like, 30-40 years younger I might even use she/they, but that is simply not how Im wired as an older Trans person. My general position about pronouns is simply if I have to state what my preferred pronouns are, then Im doing something drastically WRONG. And it serves as a gentle reminder that I need to step it up a notch or so,. One example of how pronoun use is sometimes overstated within the Trans community is seen in the bit that Ricky Gervaris(yeah he is a hateful troll, I got the memo, thanks) does; You can say almost anything you want about a Trans person. But, if you get her/their pronouns wrong, youre some kind of hateful bigot,,.
