It worked when other trans people decided that pronouns are something a person chooses for themself, rather than something society chooses for a person. People have just forgotten that. Drag will remind them, and it will be fine.
It's not about picking specific pronouns, though. People want to be addressed in a manner consistent with their gender identity. What is your gender identity?
Dragon rider.
Could you provide an article or some description expanding on that? I don't know how that is a gender, instead of an occupation/ preference
Genders can be occupations too. Womanhood spent several thousand years being basically equal to domestic servant. And have you ever heard the line "join the army and become a man"? Among the Bugis people of indonesia, "priest" is a nonbinary gender.
That doesn't explain anything about you, which I asked.
Well, drag is an anarcho-communist, is engaged to marry drag's pet dragon, likes all forms of science fiction and fantasy, is a wizard, prefers power metal over most other genres of music, and thinks Python lends itself too easily to non-OOP designs. Anything more specific you'd like to know?
No, it seems like you identify in a non-binary way and they/them would be an appropriate way to address you.
This isn't saying you should or shouldn't be addressed in a specific way, I'm saying it's not clear what your gender identity is. You've stated an occupation, not a gender. I don't want to get into how I disagree that gender can be an occupation, but you haven't said anything about how an occupation can be a gender.
They/them, which is a gender neutral pronoun, would be an appropriate way to refer to drag, if there weren't any pronouns that refer specifically to dragon riders. But since there are, they/them is about as appropriate for drag as it is for an average man or woman. Drag thinks you've misunderstood the they/them pronoun. It doesn't refer specifically to nonbinary people, it refers to any group or person lacking specified gender. Drag is not lacking specified gender, drag's gender is very specified.
You can refer to men or women as they, as you are not specifying a gender with the world "they"
So you are making up grammar rules, this has nothing to do with gender. Bye.
So you're saying that your reluctance to use drag/dragself pronouns is equal to your reluctance to use she and he pronouns, and you start an argument with anyone who uses a he or a she pronoun too?
Okay, thanks. If you're not treating drag any differently than other people, then drag feels okay. Sorry for assuming that you were singling drag out.
