Nothing like bonding with beings, and they send us a genuine message like "thank you", only for it to hurt like hell, because it uses "you" pronoun, which we abhore


Please read our pronouns before addressing us

see that above? It's how we protect ourselves ftom such things. We take great offense when beings don't read it, and still choose to interact

It's the ever lasting hurt that we must always live with. Unless we learn tolk pona, which has a nice accomedation for plurals.

Sometimes, even those who are very close make mistakes referring to us. It uhh, it hurts a lot. On some days we can shrug it off, on others, it's a nail in the coffin

We've also been trying hard to figure out a new way of speaking, that is pronounless. Like, how will we refer to those who are reading this? Well, by using "readers"! Hi readers :D, hope readers can understand and won't be bigoted. It happens that some, uhh, special little sasuages out there, like to:

Gore Metaphor

Twist the knife and continue to use wrong pronouns. Those are, the worst.


If readers can't read that spoiler, then:

Hurt us more by using wrong pronouns
