Transphobes who say their pronouns are beep/boop or something else in their bio underestimate my willingness to adhere to those pronouns
I love the normalization of neopronouns for this reason. Transphobes are just gonna get their "ironic" pronouns used and respected lmao. Neopronouns users were so based for doing this.
A classmate in undergrad once tried to test me by claiming she would only agree to respect nonbinary pronouns if I used Her Majesty as pronouns for her.
She lasted 2 days before she realized I had absolutely zero problem doing exactly that and was too embarrassed to ever argue with me about pronouns in class again.
When I was working at the greenhouse, one of my coworkers was getting flustered because he was a Proper Gentleman who called everyone "Sir" or "Ma'am" and was getting genuinely heated that there wasn't a gender-neutral honorific for nonbinary people like me.
"Well, you could always call me 'Your Majesty'." I said.
As a Joke.
Because in addition to looking and sounding like an older Yosemitie Sam, he took me Extremely Seriously and addressed me as "Your Majesty" for the rest of the summer. Which was hysterical because it was things like "Your Majesty? Where is the fungicide?" and *gestures at me* "You'll have to as Their Majesty about the tomatoes." He also would call every single person he could not immediately identify the gender of "Your Majesty" and also everyone that had neon hair.
So yes, you should absolutely rigorously adhere to someone's pronouns (Especially if they're unusual pronouns), because it's respectful, because it's clowning on assholes, and because it is fucking delightful.
