Asked for pronouns at a meeting? Do be helpful and list them *all*. Obviously the meeting can& #39;t start, safely, until absolutely everyone does all this. Remember that, in English, there are 29 personal pronouns:
Subject/Object/Possessive/Reflexive; Singular/Plural;
1st/2nd/3rd...
Person; Masculine/Feminine. So mine are: I, me, my, mine, myself, we, us, our, ours, ourselves, you, you, your, yours, yourself, you, you, your, yours, yourselves, he, him, his, himself, they, them, their, theirs, themselves. Of course, there may not be time left for much agenda.
You shouldn& #39;t just rattle them off. No. Speak slowly, explaining each one, carefully. Encourage people to take notes. "I, that& #39;s my 1st person subject pronoun; me, that& #39;s my 1st person object pronoun...". This is very important. To do otherwise is literally killing trans people.
Okay people are having far too much fun with this; it& #39;s got to stop! No, no. Fun is oppressive. The correct attitude is one of po-faced piety. As a rule, disapprove of everything that& #39;s said. Intersectionally, it& #39;ll have offended *someone*. Being affronted, you& #39;re saving lives!
