It goes against the spirit of the post, but there was a very detailed system for converting invalid colors to valid ones!

1. If it exactly matches a recognized named color, use that color.

2. If it is a valid three-digit legacy hex form such as #abc, expand each digit:

   • a → aa
   • b → bb
   • c → cc

3. Replace non-BMP characters with 00.

4. Truncate the value to 128 characters.

5. Remove a leading #, if present.

6. Replace every character that is not an ASCII hex digit with 0.

7. Append 0s until the length is a multiple of three.

8. Split the result into three equal components for red, green, and blue.

9. If each component is longer than eight characters, keep only its last eight characters.

10. Remove leading zeroes from all three components while they remain longer than two characters.

11. If they are still longer than two characters, truncate each to two characters.

12. Interpret the three components as hexadecimal numbers and use them as RGB values.

While gender-neutral languages are awesome, the fact that we are speaking a gendered language means we are often communicating gender. Having to communicate gender is the cost of speaking English.

If you refuse to use a trans person's neopronouns, you will be intelligible as denying their gender. If you internally respect them, but externally misgender them or complain about their pronouns, then your internal intentions are unintelligible. Language is a two-way street. You have a responsibility to make yourself understood, by using the pronouns that match your intentions.

Also, consider that a neopronoun may be perfectly intelligible to everyone as-is. You certainly understand the meaning of Legend's hex code, #LEG3ND, right? It's intelligible. When it comes to neopronouns like Legend's, I think you may be mistaken.; this might not be about intelligibility. In Legend's case, at least, you understand neopronouns perfectly well. You simply disagree.

My drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens! ✊

in the little place in europe i live in, it is very common for political and queer groups as part of name rounds. the reason for it is the same as for the name round: so you know how to refer to the people in the round.

it's not just done the first time but at the start of every meeting, so people got a nice chance to update everyone smoothly about name or pronoun changes without having to like do some big comming out. it's really nice

it's not common outside those spaces but mainly cause it's a more new thing and society is really cis binary normative so most people just expect to be able to guess everyones pronouns correctly (they are not)

I’ve never encountered such a thing in the US. Closest might be name tags with space for pronouns on them.

I'm in the US and I've never encountered this. Some people put them in their email signatures which is fine and has actually been useful a couple times with names that were unclear to me. Mostly we're just trying to get the meeting over as fast as possible so we can get back to doing actual work. If someone did do this I'd never show up to their meeting on time again, same as I do for people I know are doing icebreakers.

Actually, My second person pronouns are You/Yours, with a capital letter.

Also, to answer your question, people do use pronoun circles. Every adult should be experienced enough to change their perception of other people's gender at will, so pronoun circles are a chance to make sure you're perceiving other people correctly.

It's a nice color <3

Green is binary trans and is being told to use they/she instead of she/her because the cis people don't actually accept her as a woman. Legend is nonbinary and uses neopronouns.
