Because we shouldn't sidestep or let it get awkward; we should ask.

What set of gender pronouns do you use for yourself/would like us to use for you?

I'm okay with he/him/his (she/her/hers has been used for me, I didn't mind).

If you'd like to change your listed pronouns, drop me a PM or post here. Alternatively, ask a mod for help.

I am male and prefer male pronouns. (Good idea, by the way! Maybe Weeks could update the first post with a summary.)

by **roband** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 9:55 pm UTC

Nice article.

I am a 'he'

by **Elvish Pillager** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 10:07 pm UTC

I am agendered and prefer gender-neutral pronouns (they, ze, etc.; whichever you prefer.) I don't mind terribly if someone calls me "he" or "she".

by **Misnomer** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 10:57 pm UTC

Nice idea for a topic - perhaps it might be worth putting a list in the OP when we've had a good number of replies?

Anyways, I am male and prefer male pronouns.

by **b.i.o** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 11:08 pm UTC

Male/male pronouns.

by **Silknor** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 11:16 pm UTC

Male, male pronouns.

A list in the OP would be useful.

by **Adacore** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 11:32 pm UTC

Male pronouns for me, please...

by **RoadieRich** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 11:35 pm UTC

Male/Male.
(although I've used most pronouns at one point or another. I'm assuming the OP means "use for yourself")

I am male and accustomed to He/Him/His. However you may feel free to use whatever pronouns you like to address me, so long as when I am Mod you capitalize them

I am a guy, and am used to being addressed by masculine pronouns.

by **Krong** » Mon Dec 13, 2010 3:04 am UTC

We are male, and like being referred to with plural pronouns.

...

OK, fine. He/him/his.

Don't blame me, Entropy put the idea in my head!

Yes, She can be quite troublesome that way. But hey, y'all gotta admit it: that's why we love Her. :mrgreen:

hmmmm, girl!entropy...

Female pronouns are probably appropriate for me, but if you address me with male pronouns all I'll do is view it as an interesting psychological experiment and get all contemplative about gender for a while. Usually I'm too distracted/interested to even correct people. XD

TBH, i missed the 'h' at first glance, which made the comment all the more ... pertinant?

by **ameretrifle** » Mon Dec 13, 2010 4:11 am UTC

What, Rule 63, you mean? I could've warned Her She was inviting things She might not be able to control. XD

by **Krong** » Mon Dec 13, 2010 4:38 am UTC

Hey, he's not mod here, only in Her Secret Santa game.

If you are going to blaspheme, at least be consistent

by **ameretrifle** » Mon Dec 13, 2010 4:49 am UTC

I think they were referring to your being mod in that game (therefore requiring capitals) and not in this thread (therefore not requiring capitals). I've been erring on the side of caution, myself. As to gender, if you read back I think you'll see you required no consistency in that regard ;D

by **Weeks** » Mon Dec 13, 2010 5:30 am UTC

Hope that covers it/is understandable. Let me know.

by **MasterOfAll** » Mon Dec 13, 2010 6:51 am UTC

I am quite comfortable with male pronouns. I do not like to be referred to by plural pronouns like 'they', although I do sometimes enjoy using plural pronouns for myself, like 'we'.

@Weeks, I think that list is going to get longer and longer. Would it be too much trouble for you to put it in alphabetical order?

Spoiler:

by **ameretrifle** » Mon Dec 13, 2010 6:59 am UTC

The royal we, I've no doubt. Vainglorious bastard.

by **Not A Raptor** » Mon Dec 13, 2010 7:12 am UTC

he/him/his/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH for the scaled chap.

by **_infina_** » Mon Dec 13, 2010 5:07 pm UTC

I am male, and prefer male pronouns.

by **AngrySquirrel** » Mon Dec 13, 2010 10:26 pm UTC

I don't care what people refer to me as, just don't refer to me as a chipmunk (he, she, it, them, pancake are all acceptable terms).

/me is donuts

by **Flying_Cookie** » Wed Dec 15, 2010 1:16 am UTC

Please use Flying_Cookie in the place of any and all pronouns.

...He/Him/His/Otter are all fine

by **Weeks** » Wed Dec 15, 2010 1:27 am UTC

I wonder if we can get this thread stickied? Is there a formal process for this...? (Nah, I'll just bribe the nearest mod I can find! Now...wait, where did everybody go? Damn!)

by **Entropy** » Wed Dec 15, 2010 1:39 am UTC

Probably flag down lanicita?

by **RoadieRich** » Wed Dec 15, 2010 2:25 am UTC

There is a readily available method for calling a mod's attention to a specific post... It's called the "report" button.

by **Lataro** » Wed Dec 15, 2010 10:29 pm UTC

I perfer GOD, but also accept LORD.

by **Weeks** » Wed Dec 15, 2010 11:38 pm UTC

Girl, prefer female pronouns, but won't care if you get it wrong.

by **PhoenixEnigma** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 11:31 pm UTC

Other than using singular gendered pronouns, I don't have a preference. Just use whatever seems to suit best.
