How would you react if someone wants you to use pronouns such as ze/hir, they/them or xe/xem for them? Would you think that person is insane or would you happily use their pronouns?
What a difference a pronoun makes. A psychopath referring to a victim as 'it' to objectify them. And yet a person choosing a new pronoun to validate their identity. On a personal level I'd probably be irritated and feel id entered another dimension with new beings and a badly written script.
I would avoid the issue as best I can. I get stressed out enough dealing with standard social interaction.
Maybe I would use them if that person would be super nice and kind hearted. Otherwise I am out of there!
I'd think it's utterly ridiculous, I'd want to roll my eyes. I wouldn't think the person is insane necessarily, but that they're inclined to be swept away by the latest social craze. If it were in person, I might use the pronouns just because of the social pressure (I really don't like making enemies), but i wouldn't be happy about it.
