I am one of those legions of butt-posting bloggers who fills folks' dashes with goofy memes, naked chubby dudes, proclamations regarding liberated sexuality and gender identity, and video game art.

24-year-old agender dude, prefer 'they/them' pronouns. I started this blog to talk about sexuality and TF2 and now I reblog what I want and y'all jes gots to deal wit it. Right now there're lots of robots and I'm not sorry at all.

I co-moderate the Cap the Point Livejournal TF2 comm with the lovely DJ. There, I play the RED Engineer and RED Soldier. We are super friendly and adorable and if you like TF2, character-building, and good times you should come find us. :D

A gender-neutral third-person pronoun has arisen spontaneously as a part of kids' slang in Baltimore →

“What’s also interesting about the kids’ language is that people — mostly academics — have been trying to introduce a gender-neutral singular pronoun into the English language for about 200 years, with very little success. And then a group of kids in Baltimore just make one up and start using it.”

Huh. 

Yesssss

internet/modern culture is allowing what these kids have come up with a fighting chance of actually becoming a part of the English language.

I personally prefer using “they” and “them” (mostly because “thon”, while fun, is really obscure and cause more trouble than it solves), but at this point I’ll take anything respectful as a gender-neutral pronoun.

Hell yes. Progress.

i like this. ‘yo’ feels natural, unlike the space-age plastics of ‘xie’ and ‘thon’ and whatnot. i could get used to ‘yo’.

This is actually really cool.
