  1. i don't use pronouns. this is NOT the same as using they/them. do not use they/them or any pronouns for me.
  2.  
  3. here's example sentences to help.
  4.  
  5. You should give those bags back to Bluffy; those belong to that person, and Bluffy will need it for later.
  6. I'm impressed with how Drifter holds up, after carrying such a heavy backpack around.
  7. I guess that friend must be pretty proud of -self for that.
  8. alternative to the third sentence: I guess that friend must be pretty proud about that.
  9.  
  10. i understand that some phrases are tricky to cut the usage of 'themself'--please use your own judgment and try if you can to work around that phrasing
  11. ✔ yes, it's okay to use "you" and "yourself" when directly addressing me.
  12. this no-pronouns thing only affects sentences where you would be using pronouns like she/he/they/etc.
  13. ✔ it's also okay to type/talk as though you skip the pronoun entirely
  14. [when typing, you may use - in place, as in the third example sentence. you can use any single symbol you'd like, if you really wanted, but - is just easiest to type?]
  15. if ALL ELSE FAILS and you can't use anything else [in this case, maybe you're saying a short two-word phrase], then you can use 'themself'.
  16. if you're speaking about me, nothing is pronounced differently than normal, although it might feel easy to resort to using they/them--please try NOT to do this! when in doubt, just use my name in place of pronouns!
  17.  
  18. it's ok to mess up, as long as you apologize and try not to use they/them, she/her he/him etc for me.
  19.  
  20. it's ok to sound redundant, don't be afraid of "overusing" my name, it tells me you're trying to respect this! i'm usually very aware of it, so thank you
  21.  
  22. when it comes to gendered titles i prefer neutral, then masculine titles over feminine ones, though my honorific is Mx.
  23.  
  24. this seems to be hard for people to adapt to, but as long as i see you trying to not use pronouns for me, i'll be happy. thanks...!
