Can't speak freely, a Bad Person might hear it.

There's a reason why people are mostly anon here, yeah. Can't say a single thing without being roasted alive if by any chance you don't think neopronouns are a death and life situation as some apparently think it is so it's actually not surprising that a secret like this gets made. Judging by the fact that it got this much traction people won't say what the secret said out loud but a lot of them agree. And honestly? Their doing so doesn't put anyone at risk. Characters in a book are fake, they're not being oppressed, lmao, just as people who mean to use them is real life aren't when someone thinks they're silly. I think ny next door neighbor's attempts to hide his balding head are pathetic but I don't want the poor man dead!

I sometimes think that much of this is caused by people not having gotten the lesson early enough in life that not everyone will like you -- and that that's normal, and okay.

One of the healthiest things a person can do is to learn to stop relying on others for validation, and to start getting it from within oneself; to have a sense of oneself that remains stable regardless what others think. But we seem to be leaning hard into the exact opposite, creating this culture in which people are told that the path to liberation involves convincing everyone to like and validate them, and that their identity is in some sense not fully real until that happens. It's a recipe for disappointment at best and misery at worst.

Truth, anon, you speak the truth. Although I'd wager there's also a bit of a control fetish involved in this particular case, with people wanting to force other people to think/speak of them according to their own delusions of grandeur. Like, sorry, but you're (general you, not you, ofc!) not that important for people with taxes, mortgage and other bills to pay, kids to feed and bosses to tolerate that they're going to set aside the little mental space they have at the end of the day just to accommodate your fragile sense of self that's so dependant on ridiculous words that were made up for no real reason, you know? They're not being prejudiced by not abiding by some absurd grammatical rule some random person online came up with. And, really, if getting called by a "wrong" pronoun is the absolute worst crime someone can commit against them... Methinks they don't know what oppression is and I invite them to come live in my third world country to see what the daily threat of getting an actual brick thrown at your head really is, lmao.
