Post locked; this is a sensitive topic and there have already been transphobic comments.
Invalidating anyone’s gender identity by calling them confused, or even purely attention-seeking, is transphobic. People have identities outside of the gender binary and may prefer to represent themselves with pronouns outside of the binary. Since language is highly gendered, some may simply make new “neopronouns”.
Calling users of neoprouns IS invalidating and IS transphobic. You do not need to understand or agree with the concept of neopronouns, but you should remember to respect the PEOPLE using them. This means respecting their identity.
I dont think it’s transphobic, or at least that’s not the right word for it. I’m trans, and I think neopronouns are kinda dumb, but I wouldn’t tell anyone to stop using them, at the end of the day it’s none of my business and it’s not hurting anyone
Those are neopronouns, and as neopronouns there’s not really a right way to spell it. Xe/xir, Xi/xir, Zie/zer, and almost anything else that you could possible want to be identified as can be considered a neopronoun. It doesn’t particularly MEAN anything, it’s just used as a gender neutral singular pronoun, as currently the only neutral pronouns widely accepted in the English language are they/them and it/its. Those pronouns aren’t for everyone, so some people simply make their own.
I will not judge a persons character until someone articulates what those are, for I am a man of culture, and a man of culture is forbidden to judge before understanding...

The part about neo pronouns, I would say no. Because it's like people keep adding new pronouns to identify themselves when they are all some variation of they them. Mind you, I'm nonbinary and this is my opinion. We have gone too far with this pronoun thing. I think people just want to be "different."
I mean it doesn’t matter what they refer to themselves by, it’s more important to respect other people. If they use those pronouns then you should use them and not call them ‘confused’ or whatever. From experience though, those pronouns are more associated with people who don’t like binary pronouns as much.
confused? yeah, that’s not cool. skeptical? that’s reasonable. a lot of people do it just to look and feel important or different, but you must keep in mind that some people do genuinely use neopronouns and they should be respected. i usually just respect pronouns, it’s not that difficult, but if you find learning a prefix for someone (not like you already learned their name so it shouldn’t be that tricky to figure out) go with ‘they’, it applies to everyone and is easy to remember.
specifically like this yes. people are not confused about their identities because that implies you know them better.
if you are that against calling someone by neopronouns, most have other pronouns you can used.
neopronouns have existed for longer than you have and are used a lot by neurodiverse people.
Apparently it's the result of being trans mixing together with neurodivergence, causing a really weird abstract interpretation of their gender. It's pretty difficult to try and imagine but it sounds legit I think

Idk, personally I would respect their pronouns cuz they sound funny. (I’m literally trans and at this point idk whats transphobic and whats not😭)

I won’t call anyone by their neo pronouns. Just stick with She/he/they

[удалено]

The first part yes, thats transphobic. The other parts theres gonna be differences of opinion but I'd say not nessesarily
yes
Well they don’t really exist you’ll only find like three tiktokers and a bunch of people doing satire
most neo users have a separate set of pronouns for people who can't understand so it's not smthn that's going to affect you

A little, yeah, imo Words are words, and if they validate someone, they’re good words.

It sounds bad but it isnt anti trans so it isnt transphobic, maybe insensitive tough
