That's a whole lot of reply for having not even read what drag said. "person independent pronoun". It's a pronoun that functions indepent of first/second/third person case.

I reckon respecting pronouns means respecting pronouns, not just the ones you approve of. You wouldn't try and tell somebody that their name or spelling thereof is wrong just because you don't like it would ya?

I'm sorry i don't know what person independent pronouns are. i am not deep in the trans community. I'm just trying to understand. being aggressive like this about genuinely complicated and nuanced things that 90% of the population doesn't understand is a big part as what pushes people away from understanding.

why do they exist though? is it like a split personality thing? what does it mean to not identify with first person pronouns? just towing the line and doing what I'm told isn't my style. i need to understand what I'm saying. it's like the difference between using a math formula and understanding how it works. i don't like using words that I don't understand.
