Easy to pronounce not the same as familiar

distinct is weakest criterion
|
| Oct 21, 2019 at 14:25 | comment | added | Raedwald | @ScottHannen Nope. Please reread the actual CoC and my post. As I point out, the context of the CoC is that pronouns are about gender. And English third person pronouns are as a matter of fact about gender, not about ancestry, or other characteristics. Unlike in some other languages, which use other characteristics to classify nouns. | |

Add "What is gender" because of trolling pendants
|
| Oct 21, 2019 at 13:32 | comment | added | user245382 | @Raedwald so you're saying that "meow" isn't a valid pronoun, despite it being on that list of pronouns? | |

Irrelevant whether there are actually only 2 genders
|
| Oct 21, 2019 at 13:09 | comment | added | Raedwald | @JamesKPolk No. I've described people who deliberately start quarrels or upset people as trolls. And one way, whether you like or not, of doing that is to ridicule the idea that there are more than 2 gender identities by asking for a ridiculous "pronoun". Someone who believes there are only 2 gender identities but does not ask for a ridiculous pronoun is not being a troll. | |
| Oct 21, 2019 at 13:03 | comment | added | Raedwald | @Houseman I wrote "gender: used to express a gender... not some other kind of characteristic". So, clear enough, I think. | |
| Oct 21, 2019 at 12:55 | comment | added | user245382 | what-the-heck-gender-am-i.tumblr.com/pronouns What about these otherkin pronouns on this list? Many of them fail the 'distinct' rule, and possibly the 'gender' rule. Note that CesarM explicitly allows otherkin pronouns as quoted in an answer above. | |
