pronoun adoptions (not political, about real people using them)

I've only seen it exclusively online and in the media. Ergo, in the world of fakery. Never in the real world.

I identify as an identity thief.

My pronouns are you/yours.

I have never met anyone that have requested that specific pronouns be used - ‘Sunny’ Bournemouth, South coast of England.

I work in the arts, and with younger people. It is common when starting a new show having the cast introduce themselves with names and preferred pronouns, and that is it. It's not usually brought up again.

I just think of it as the name I go by is not my legal name, when I'm introduced to someone with my legal name, I say I go by this, and I shouldn't have to keep telling people that.

So far walking around on Vancouver Island in BC Canada, it has never come up.

As an old white dude though I move in circles where this sort of stuff is irrelevant. It would be different I think in places such as university campuses, work places (trendy coffee shops? certain tech environments?) that consider themselves 'woke', etc.

Very little. I've seen some in email signatures and in social media profiles.

Its now a thing in the corporate world too. I see it as catering to a small population of the gender non-conforming who seem to be obsessed with their own care & feeding, will it catch on ? We'll see.

I’ve met several very young people who have a preference. I can’t quite always keep it straight but I’m trying and luckily they seem to understand when I slip up…it’s an adjustment!
