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?

That's the one I was testing recently. I was hoping it was just an option I hadn't found yet, but apparently no. Uninstalled!

I'm using jerboa. Has some issues but I see "pooberbee (she/her)@lemmy.ml" above your commemt. That's correct isn't it?

[-] pooberbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 17 hours ago

Yeah. Maybe i switch back to jerboa then

The main issue I've had with jerboa is that it doesn't play nice with the default keyboard's autocorrect. Backspacing to correct words deletes spaces before words. It's odd but most third party keyboards work fine.

Err... It doesn't show images in the list? Hmm...

Switching now. Might take some getting used to, but it's good to have display names!
