Re: "I am once again begging native speakers of the English..."
They do. They just also use "pronouns" as a stand in for bigoted terms.
I'm disappointed that there are so many bigots here in gemini. I was initially quite happy to see a lot of queer people here, but now I'm seeing bigoted responses on antenna and it's disgusting.

It's amazing how people suddently forget what a pronoun is even though they've been using them their whole lives.
Sorry if you've seen anything on gemini to get you down, but in general I find it a pretty safe space here. There are always going to be idiots no matter where you go though... :(

@sugar I just saw a post that fit that description. I'm sorry. It doesn't reflect well.

So far it seems like the friendly voices are more numerous than the asshole voices though :) 💕
I just refer people to the classics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koZFca8AkT0

"pronouns" is their new dogwhistle flavor-of-the-month 🙄

From a mug I saw in a museum gift shop: "Pronoun - a word that takes the place of a noun in the event that the noun can't furfill its grammatical duty."
I am once again begging native speakers of the English language to understand what a pronoun is.
