Hot take but he
she or they pronouns are ridiculous
Do you really expect me to be talking to my
parents and say
"oh then SHE told me..."
yeah no that's fucking embarrassing
and it sounds stupid no shade
I'm not transphobic though because I do support 💥NORMAL💥 pronouns like catself
starshelf or sharkshelf
because they actually work in language
but what the fuck do you mean you go by
she/her?
I guess I'll force myself to use them if we're
talking online
but in real life I'll bully the fuck out of bro
