      Precisely! I can tell when someone is using a pronoun to be disparaging and when someone is just reacting to their perception. That’s part of why any pronouns are fine for me, I think it’s more useful to encourage people to gender me reflexively so I can hear how I am perceived directly.

      What’s weird to me is how many people still insist on their humanity when calling the human species a mixed bag feels a bit too generous.
