It’s crazy how variable pronoun usage of any kind is once you start paying attention to it. Like, you’d think a fairly consistent percentage of the words of any conversation would be pronouns, but a lot of the time it’s either a drought or a downpour.
Anyway for like a month my friends have just naturally not used my pronouns, and my family has been misgendering me like crazy, and I am gritting my teeth waiting for it to start swinging the other way.
you’re allowed to ask your friends to use them more! even if its uncomfortable to ask, it might be a good reminder that they do respect you/nice validation
