interesting read! i wrote a post called “my lesbian gender” - i didn’t delve into pronouns much, but i talked about my relationship with gender/sexuality which i think also sheds some clarity on why i like she/they pronouns. i’m honest with myself though that while i like they/them pronouns, they’re not necessary for me to feel comfortable. i think that’s extremely different to people who feel unsettling dysphoria as a result of being misgendered, and why i would never make comparisons between my experiences and theirs. for me, if anything, i think using she/they pronouns comes less from internalised misogyny and more from insecurity - not feeling “enough” like a woman and feeling different in a bad way, not feeling superior
thats such an interesting perspective, feeling as though there’s a standard that you’re not meeting, i’ll definitely give ur piece a read <3
i love conversations around gender and sexuality that are similar to this, kinda figuring out if there’s other reasons behind why people identify the way that they do
