I was reading a fic comprised of 20ish little snippits and in many of them the main character's pronouns would swap. I kind of get it, there was a lot of gender fuckery going around, but I def had to go back and read the first snippit where (yes) he was him after reading the second where she was her. I'm not sure what the author was going for, if it was just general swapping over time or if each scenario or person the main character interacted with brought out a slightly different presentation. Whatever though, the smut was awesome and pronouns only changed in each snippit.

But also? Some people are just like that. I had a gender fluid acquaintance who would swap his/her/their pronouns whenever. Even minute by minute. This was indicated to the world by either a scarf or necklace's positioning, which was kind of a pain to expect everyone else to know. I would have appreciated a clearer sign like pronoun pins turned upside down when not appropriate, or something! I fell out of contact with this person because (1) she changed pronouns during an argument with someone (while the other person was talking!) and then changed the argument to how their pronouns weren't respected, (2) borrowed money from me and never paid it back, (3) he dropped out of the shared hobby. So some people really are just like that. Most of them probably aren't even jerks even.

Not gonna, "switching pronouns by the minute" sounds like a power trip or control freak behavior. When I say I use any/all pronouns, I just let people know that I'm me regardless of how I'm referred and to just pick a set. Different people can call me whatever. People aren't mind readers and aren't gonna know which you prefer at the moment.
