Replying to Avatar nostr.build

The way I see it, is if there is a possibility for either party to feel uncomfortable using or not using a new form of pronoun that doesn't align to biology or the historic norm of humanity, the person introducing the deviation should have to feel uncomfortable, in that situation.

So I often put myself in their place, and if someone calls me a 'she or her' by accident, I would politely correct them and say, "actually I am a 'he'". If they continue to call me a she, I would ignore, or if intentional, think they are an asshole and move on with my life..

I’m fine with referring to trans men as “he” and trans women as “she,” especially if their proper names or appearances provide cues. I’m not happy with invented pronouns, because then I would have to keep a table in my head and remember to refer to it while I’m figuring out what to say in a conversation.
