Updated pronoun usage

[conuly]

As I said, somebody in my life came out as nonbinary and this involved a change in pronouns. I'm tentatively happy to report that I'm now up to 25 - 33% correctly getting the right pronoun on the first try, slightly higher if they're within earshot. It's slow, but it's progress.

It only took me a few months to force myself to say twenty-whatever instead of two-thousand-whatever for the year, sooooooooo hopefully this will be just that fast.

I'm glad you're working on it. I am, too, and when I flub it I want to smack myself in the head. When you're old and have been trained on binary terms, it's rough going. Though totally worth it, I think.

Likewise, but then I'm drawing attention to the error and basically asking other people to manage my emotions. So no. Nooooooo. That's not helpful.

I'll mope here instead.
