"In my community, in the queer community, with a lot of trans and nonbinary people, we all frequently remind each other or remind ourselves. It's a sort of constant mindfulness where you are always catching up a little bit," they say.

"You might know someone for 10 years, and then they let you know their pronouns have changed. It's going to take you a little while to adjust, and that's fine. It's OK to make those mistakes and correct yourself, and it's OK to gently correct someone else."

How does anyone think that that's an appropriate way to go through life? "It's so difficult to keep track of all of my friend's different pronouns and sometimes they change them on me so I'm always getting it wrong and walking on eggshells around everyone, but it's totally okay! At least I'm respecting everyone and wasted a lot of excess mental energy in the process!"
