English is not my first language so FYI but I am truly so perplexed by the way people state their pronouns as She/Her.

I totally get why people state their pronouns but I'm so confused by the inclusion of the possessive pronoun, too.

I was recently asked & had no answer!
In my case, I state my pronouns as She/elle so it wouldn't work to put the possessive anyway but I'm just truly unsure why the possessive has been normalized. And I'm not pressed by it! I just got asked a Qs in my workshop & couldn't give them the answer.
Grammar nerds keep telling me I'm using "possessive" wrong so again, language is a tricky thing and we need to be way more patient with people! hahaha!

Some of us speak English as a 2nd (or 3, 4, 5th)! Some people are dyslexic! Also, language is alive and everchanging!
I learned how to speak English by reading cereal boxes and taking out RL Stine books at la bibliotèque de Sturgeon Falls, so please know I have lots of patience if you struggle with language, spelling or grammar! 💛
