  Can’t be dehumanizing if you use the for all humans XD

    I don’t wanna be human, anyway. Dehumanize me. Dogicize me instead.

  You wouldn’t like how people in Finland speak then 😅

  (We have hän for s/he but almost everyone just uses se {it} in spoken language)

  Don’t learn Finnish I guess.

  No gendered pronouns and we honestly use “it” (se) as a pronoun. No, I would never use it in English unless I meant to purposefully dehumanise someone, but in Finnish it’s just the normal colloquial version of a personal pronoun, whereas “hän” is a 3rd person pronoun that’s more formal, (but also non-gendered) . Pets usually get to be referred to as “hän” with the more formal personal pronoun, weirdly enough.

    I can understand using more respectful language for pets than people.

  Why would you feel gross respecting a trans person’s preferred pronouns? If a trans person wants to be thought of as an object, would you genuinely think of it as an object, or would you think of it as a person but still call it by its preferred pronouns? Because the second option would cause cognitive dissonance and might be the reason you’d feel gross.

  Don’t read Lois McMaster Bujolds “Vorkosigan Saga” On of the bio engineered races preferred “it” when being gendered.
