NO PRONOUNS FAQ

How do I even do that?

There are multiple methods for referring to those who use no pronouns, shown below. (Examples here taken from this page, a very good resource.)

Use names or initials instead of pronouns

  • I talked to him yesterday → I talked to Sky yesterday.
  • She is really beautiful → Soph is really beautiful.
  • Her graduation starts soon → J’s graduation starts soon.

Passive voice

  • He answered the phone → The phone was answered.
  • Wen takes good care of her cat → Wen’s cat is well cared for.

Rephrasing the sentence (circumlocution)

  • Lior did it all by himself → Lior did it all without any help.
  • Gael talks in his sleep → Gael talks while sleeping.

Replacing a pronoun with a descriptive noun or phrase

  • She landed the plane safely → The pilot landed the plane safely.
  • This is Lea, she is into painting → This is Lea. My friend is into painting.
  • She argues that… → The person who started this discussion argues that…

Dropping pronouns

  • Did you buy Tex her gift? → Did you buy Tex a gift?
  • Yes, I bought it for her. I will give it to her tomorrow. → Yes, I bought it. I will give it tomorrow.

Why not just use they/them?

For many people who use no pronouns, the issue with they/them pronouns is the implication of a neutral gender rather than no gender. Nonbinary people have often been lumped into a “third gender” category, and for agender/genderless people, this feels just as restrictive as having to “settle for” a binary gender. They/them pronouns can feel like being forced into another category, especially as the popular perception of people outside the binary has become a monolith, and can be very dysphoria-inducing.

Who can use no pronouns? 

Anyone! Most commonly, this specific way of expressing oneself is used by agender/genderless people, but anyone can use no pronouns if that’s what that person wants. 

Can I include you in group pronouns? (Example: They all went to the beach.)

It’s up to the person whether or not that’s alright, but I’d wager most of us would say that yes, that’s fine! It can’t hurt to ask.

Are second person pronouns alright to use?

Same as above. Most would find it perfectly fine, but if there’s ever doubt, please ask!

Isn’t that transphobic? 

When asked for sincerely, this is not transphobic. Some transphobic people might say they “don’t have pronouns” in order to make fun of trans people. There is a big difference between someone genuinely stating their preferred pronouns (or lack thereof) and being transphobic. 

Are you trolling?/Is this satire?

No, this is not a joke or an attempt at making anyone look bad. If you asked if this is satire, I also urge you to take a look at what satire actually is and it’s history as a form of comedy. Trolling and bait are not satire.

Aren’t you harming the community with this?/This will make transphobes think we’re stupid!

I am, by definition, a trans person just trying to be comfortable. I am part of the community. While people inside the community can definitely harm it, expressing myself in a way that makes me most comfortable is not harmful towards anyone. If transphobes think I’m stupid, I can’t stop them. They’ll think I’m stupid no matter what.

How do I try these out for myself? I think this might be for me!

Here’s a website that allows the user to input a name and ask for no pronouns in a sample sentence. No matter your conclusion, I wish you the best on your journey of discovery!

Seinfeld (1989 - 1998)
2.08 The Heart Attack

Jason Alexander was born in 1959 and season 2 of Seinfeld premiered in January 1991 so he was actually 31 or 32 when this was filmed lol

The notes are split between people who thought he looked older than 33 and people who thought he looked younger with many on both sides assuming that’s what everyone else meant

persona 4 is so insane how basically all of the main characters are gay caricatures who arent actually gay lmfao. yosuke is so misogynist hes gay but he also believes gay men are predators. kanji is a victim of said belief because his shadow is basically rupaul but dont worry he falls in love with a girl. and that girl? disguised themself as a man for years to be taken seriously by their adult peers, despite said peers still not taking them seriously because of their age, so this excuse doesnt make sense under any scrutiny. chie is masculine and sporty for a girl so obviously she is deeply insecure about possibly being seen as too butch for guys. yukiko seens chie as her prince but not in THAT way. and rise is also there

me and my homophobic gay boyfriend and my internalized homophobia bestie and his trans boyfriend who is a girl because somebody else said so and my straight butch friend and her straight femme girlfriend and rise
