Some people legitimately choose the pronoun it though and that shouldn’t be shamed.
Intent is important I guess

Feels like casual dehumanization to call a person ‘it’.

It can definitely feel that way, but that’s no reason not to use the pronouns that someone identifies with.

Also Finns. We have perfectly gender neutral pronouns but we prefer to use “it” instead

Pronouns in German is weird. sie and Sie have different meaning depending on the form of verb and capitalization. I kinda like the French way of speaking - je, tu, il, elle, nous, vous, ils, elles.

I thought terfs insist on using the false pronoun? Using more than 2 pronouns for humans breaks the gender binary

No they say it because they want to objectify and demean you. I knew a guy like this and it had nothing to do with sticking to the binary and everything to do with making people feel bad for being different.
- lugal ( @lugal@sopuli.xyz ) 2•2 months ago
That’s scary. I never heard that before

Yeah it’s really sad that people are like that. He was the choir teacher at my hs and would call a nb person in the group ‘it’ if he was corrected. Just kinda gross but he was old as fuck and abt to retire anyway so we never really escalated it.
