I can definitely relate to this. I tend to use "he" for myself because that's just what I've always used, but I like when people just use whatever random pronouns they want to for me.

This is very touching. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting and informative. It was nice to hear your opinion and personal experience in this regard. Thanks for sharing.

A perfect explanation.

you tell em brogurl

That's always been my approach. All language is abstraction, pronouns especially so. If you make up a set for every type of junk out there, nobody will know what the hell you're talking about.

One of the first really heavy books I read was called Hyperion, describing a world where "M" was a respectful title to bestow on anyone, no matter their gender. I sometimes wish it would be adopted.

Also you're so adorable and draw yourself as being so sofffffft D:

i can relate to this! haha.

Love ya, Floe <3

internet s/he, seems straight out of FF9

That's really fascinating! I've never heard of anyone who prefers "randomized" pronouns.

I'm pretty queer myself and I'm generally pretty content with male pronouns but damn my partner told me about how she sometimes accidentally refers to me as "she" and damned if that wasn't the most flattering thing.

This is great! I love your art style in this, and it's a simple way to help people help you. Best of luck in your soul searching!

so how is your junk? is it big, small? do you keep it put up or all out around the house..... the junk i was talking about was random stuff you may or may not own lol

sorry i had to make the joke. its a bad habit of mine

I'm the same way (neutral). I answer to he or she. I do not like female pronouns, but I just deal with them. Two of my co-workers use the male version of my name and he, while everyone else uses the female name and she.

Since there is another person here with the same name, I figure a PC way to get around the difference between the two names and often confusion with who needed to talk to who (hers is with a C, and mine is with a K) was to just list me as "Erik." I make a phone list, and update it whenever someone new gets hired on me team.

Things have been normal, with the exception of one individual going all the way to the other side of the office to tell me that they were only going to call me by my given name. I wasn't sure what to think of it, but they're a bit awkward sometimes, leaving me feeling that way.

Sometime later they had returned to tell me, "I support in in whatever point in your transition you're in." "I'm not transitioning or on HRT. That's (name of co-worker)'s fiancee'."

The last part should read: I support you in whatever point in your transition you're in."

this is really such a rock solid awesome comic floe
i will be sure to mix and match pronouns for you on a variable basis in the future :O

Oh man... I really really love the idea of stirring the water with the mixing of pronouns. I dunno it just made me smile <3

Do you consider 'dude' a gender neutral pronoun? I use it often

I do, for me, but I understand how other trans* or queer people might not. :)

hey so how's your junk?

spicy

This is almost exactly my same emotional standpoint on my own gender identity. I really admire you for putting it so succinctly! (I always feel kind of vaguely guilty when someone asks what pronouns to call me, and I'm like "aha...anything but 'it'?")

The only difference is that I don't mind people asking me about my junk. But I totally get why you do and fully respect it!

Thanks for being who and what you are, and not hiding from the world. c: You've got a vast network of people who understand and support you, and you're an amazing person.

This is so thoughtful, honest and lovely. I was feeling gripey about FA today and that fact that I got to see this makes me feel that the whole site is worthwhile. Thank you so much.

looks good, but the font on the second through 5th panels is a bit hard to read.

Yep, that's why I included the high-res link :)

doh! Yes that would be just the thing, had I been reading more closely.

beautiful, really.

I'll just refer to Floe in the 3rd person. Would that be ok with Floe? :3c

People are weird.

But that's okay because life is weird too.

nice, and reading this made me giggle a bit..

That's a really cool approach. I've personally used the phrase "genderfluid" to describe myself on no small number of occasions, but that's not something I've ever really thought about trying with my associates. Super cool, and I'm really glad you found something that works well for you!

You know what AndrewWK would say? THAT'S COOL #PRONOUNPARTY

I honestly found this very touching ^^ It's explained really darn well too <3

It's always really comforting to know there's more people out there like me :3

I kind of wish pedantic people would stop complaining about it when I use a singular "they" in cases where I don't know someone's gender... I mean... it tends to be kind of useful to be able to refer to a person without having to know their (see what I did there?) gender. If a singular "they" is good enough for Shakespeare, it's good enough for me.

We both have a lot of the same feelings. I really enjoy being called "they" but I feel pretty good about a mix of pronouns. Really when it's communicated to me that folks respect/acknowledge my non-binary status it just feels good.

Sometimes I've had folks refer to me with zhi/zhir and it made me smile a lot.

How very neat, and I'm glad you discovered some good things about yourself. Lovely and fluid, thanks for sharing!

I couldn't help but remember this one : http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12171090/
It's just perfect, job well done!

Lovely and perfect way to approach this topic!

Multiple pronoun sets randomly/sequentially cycled? How perfectly charming <3
