Hello everyone!
It has been brought to my attention that we all need to clarify what pronouns we like to go as and etc. Reason why I'm putting this up now is that we had a tiny conflict in the "Introduce Yourself" forum relating to this. So everyone, let's put down what we get offended by, what you'd like to go as, and so on and do forth.
As always, let me start off.
I'm a male; always have been. I follow the quote "Genitals do not define my gender because I was born with the opposite one. I like to go by he, him, his, boy, guy, man, bro, etc...

Personally, I would prefer gender neutral pronouns. Like 'they', 'their', ect.
I hear there are other neutral in other countries/languages, specifically in places like Sweden and the rest of Scandinavia, and I would be interested in finding out more about them.

Never knew about Gender neutral pronouns in scandinavia. I stayed for a time and had a F2M significant other for a couple years in Norway perhaps it was another country..? maybe I just missed something.. ehh iunno. Perhaps it was sweden or finland that you refer to

It's mentioned briefly in this article about gender neutral toy catalogs.

 I'm Zephy and I'm a transwoman (MTF). I started off thinking I was a feminine guy and then kinda shifted to being a transwoman. I prefer the being referred to with female pronouns (She, her, etc). Stuff that bug me are people who assume and aren't understanding. Bluetabbycat Personally, I would prefer gender neutral pronouns. Like 'they', 'their', ect. I hear there are other neutral in other countries/languages, specifically in places like Sweden and the rest of Scandinavia, and I would be interested in finding out more about them. For Chinese all the pronouns is gender neutral so that's pretty interesting xD harder to accidently upset transgenders I suppose x3  Was thinking of the wrong type of toy...

Hey guys! I found this interesting article that a friend posted on Facebook about non-binary pronouns. It gives some interesting/good pointers on making up your own pronouns, which I thought was very useful. For instance: The article When Creating a New Pronoun… There are no real rules for what you should do, or what new pronouns should look like. The only thing that really matters is whether it makes you happy. That said, if you create a pronoun that doesn’t work with English grammar, people are going to mess it up a lot more often, and it will probably end up getting changed to be more like the common pronouns. You know how I said “one” is slowly falling out of use as a pronoun? Yeah, that’s because it doesn’t fit into the patterns that other English pronouns do. Languages change over time, and strange words that don’t work like other words tend to get altered or forgotten. So it’s worth thinking about the variations of your pronoun: Subject form Object form Possessive adjective Possessive noun Reflexive form For example, here is one possible set of forms for the pronoun “xe”: Subject form - xe - “Xe thinks you are cute.” Object form - xem - “I have seen xem.” Possessive adjective - xir - “I found xir homework.” Possessive noun - xirs - “This book is xirs.” Reflexive form - xirself - “Xe looks at xirself in the mirror.” Not all people who use “xe” use these exact forms for it! I have also seen variants with xyr, hir, xyrself and xemself. So this is an example of why listing all five forms you prefer is a good idea. It’s not necessary for all five forms to be different. For me, I would like to use 'Nim' (based on an androgynous character of mine). Subject form - nim - “nim thinks you are cute.” Object form - nim - “I have seen nim.” Possessive adjective - nim's - “I found nim's homework.” Possessive noun - nim's - “This book is nim's.” Reflexive form - nimself - “Nim looks at nimself in the mirror.”

I'm non-binary/genderqueer. I like the pronouns ze/zir/zirs/zirself, but around my parents it's he cause I'm pretending to be FtM to get testosterone and top surgery. Surgery isn't important to all non-binary people, but it is to me.

Surgery isn't important to all non-binary people, but it is to me. so are you both or neither genders. I got what you said by genderqueer, but I'm just trying to make sure.

I see myself as neither mostly.

Since demi-genders (as far as I know) are something that are still less well-known than other non-binary genders, I thought I'd stick a definition up here. Demigirl, as defined by nonbinary.org, is "someone who only partially (not wholly) identifies as a girl or woman, whatever their biological sex." There isn't a page for demiboy, but it's a similar concept. Just thought I would put that out there, since I mentioned it in my introduction without really offering a definition of it. The heteromantic/pansexual bit I won't bother explaining. My only request regarding pronouns is that you folks stick to they/them/theirs when referring to me. They're the pronouns I'm most comfortable with (even if I'm not particularly offended by others).
