I wrote about my pronouns.https://t.co/vgLQEwWqs3
— Brock Colyar (@UnhappyFem) June 22, 2022
These days, it feels as if an identity that, not long ago, felt unique to me in most rooms I entered has gone mass. Yes, part of what Iβm personally upset about is the fact that this thing I loved isnβt so alt anymore. But more than that, it feels as if pronoun culture has contributed to nonbinary becoming just the third gender after male and female, more static and concrete than its original fluid intentions. The same nonbinary person who complained about nonbinary stereotypes lamented to me, βI donβt want to be a homogeneous normcore mashing of the two genders.β Ben hoped, βIf man or woman can mean so many things, then so can nonbinary.β We all became nonbinary to escape gendered expectations, and now weβre stuck again. I canβt help but think that the walking-on-eggshells battle for pronouns is turning my gender into a human-resources-approved corporate product, more neutered than neutral, and, maybe above all else, profoundly unromantic. Next time, just call me by my name.
