I'm someone who goes by Ze/Zir pronouns. I've done so for years. I originally went by they/them pronouns but I didn't like them much and they just don't feel right for me. When I discovered neopronouns they just felt right. Unfortunately I haven't had much luck getting people to refer to me by my preferred pronouns.

Even here on Lemmy lots of people still refer to me by they/them or worse she/her. It feels really bad. Does anyone else on here struggle with this?

I wish pronouns weren’t related at all to gender

Yeah, in English they don't really have to be. Pronouns can be used by anybody for any reason, whether they are a specific gender or not.

Edit: With their consent, of course.
