1. Pronouns might not seem like a big deal to some, but to many gender nonbinary and LGBT people, correct pronouns can carry a great deal of weight:
2. When someone misgenders you, it can be straight up uncomfortable:
when ppl misgender me
3. And sometimes, even if you want to correct someone, the moment doesn't allow for it:
when ppl misgender u nd ur too afraid to correct them
4. Sometimes it can take a whole lot just get through the day:
person: they/them pronouns are invalid Lol its grammatically incorrect and wrong me, a user of they/them pronouns:
5. It can be draining to constantly be dealing with the same arguments:
"non binary isn't a real gender" "they/them pronouns aren't grammatically correct" "you can only be a boy or a girl"
6. Don't even get folks started on the use of the singular they:
Cis ppl: they is not grammatically correct as a pronoun for one person Dictionary:
7. Sometimes it's nice to have a teaching moment:
for those of you who say using they/them pronouns is "too hard" here is a quick lesson
8. Because everyone seems to think they're a bonafide linguist:

12. It can take some... patience:
me: comes out to my mom mom: i completely support u mom: continues to misgender me when no one is around me:
13. I mean, come on now:
People who know your preferred name and pronouns yet choose to use/remind you of you birth name and given pronouns:
14. And if we can handle this stuff with pets, why not with other people?
folks will profusely apologize after using wrong pronouns for a pet, but when i ask them to use my pronouns suddenly everything is "so hard"
15. But anyone can make a mistake — they'll just have to put in more of an effort next time:
I try my best to always use neutral pronouns as I dont mean to misgender anybody but sometimes I forget. Heres this:
16. And unfortunately, this little clipboard buddy doesn't actually exist:
from now on when people purposely misgender me i'm just gonna send them this
17. Let's just not talk about the time you did it to yourself:
When you misgender yourself
18. But when someone just gets it?
when your friends use the right pronouns
19. That's some good shit right there.
me when people use my pronouns
20. Because respecting someone's pronouns is always the right move:
