August 14, 20232 yr Following up on the CNN pronoun article, this was my favorite line. I would say we are officially one step away from a real-life Seinfeld episode where someone insists they be called "Maestro". Quote Other neopronouns are completely original to their user – some may choose to select a noun to describe themselves, like "star” or "starself” in place of binary pronouns like "she” or "herself.” These are called nounself neopronouns https://www.cnn.com/us/neopronouns-explained-xe-xyr-wellness-cec/index.html
August 14, 20232 yr Here's more: Quote An intro to nounself neopronouns Leaf, sun, star — nounself pronouns are neopronouns that use nature and other inspirations as nonbinary or genderless descriptors. Linguist Jason D’Angelo told The New York Times that nounself pronouns were popularized on the social platform Tumblr around 2012 and 2013 and remain in use among members of fandoms who may take their nounself pronouns from the properties they enjoy. For someone who uses the nounself pronoun "leaf,” that may look like: "I hope leaf knows how proud we are that leaf is getting to know leafself better!” or "Leaf arrived at the coffee shop before me; I was mortified to have been late to meet leaf.” In a 2016 paper on the emerging pronouns, Danish linguist Ehm Hjorth Miltersen wrote that nounself pronouns offer a way for people to establish identity beyond just gender. By finding one’s desired nounself pronouns, one can "can construct new ways to identify and be perceived by others that are more coordinate with complex and diverse identities.” Miltersen wrote that one nounself pronoun user who responded to their questionnaire wrote that they sometimes use "pup/pupself” pronouns to "express a level of fun, happiness and excitement … in me.” Some critics of nounself pronouns feel that the words sound "silly” or "make it harder for transgender and nonbinary people to be taken seriously” since the terms are often much newer and less commonly used than other pronouns, Miltersen said. Baron noted, though, that all words, in any language, were "invented” at one point. "Like it or not, lots of new words pop up every day,” Baron said.

All of SF's problems are the result of Covid, slavery, and the fact that taking other peoples' property has been capriciously and callously deemed illegal by the "haves". Get with the program.
