Are there any groups of people that deserve their preferred pronouns to be used? -

As we all know, a good portion of this site believe that transwomen are men in dresses, and transmen women in guys clothing. However, there might be a minority section that believes there's such a thing as transgender, albeit needing a dysphoria diagnosis (or, in Tumblr terminology, truscum). Do you think there are groups of people that you'd use their preferred pronouns, and if so, who? Would it be the ones that don't act retarded and scream about the evil cis people? Would it be the ones that have successfully integrated into society? Or just any trans person?

If someone tells me their preferred pronouns I’ll use them, idgaf

As long as they’re not screeching at me I have no issue with he/she/they in polite conversation. There’s no need to be a dick to someone for the sake of FACTS and LOGIC, and even if I don’t believe they’re actually trans they’re not gonna change just cause I say so. I have trans friends and I use their pronouns and it’s never been an issue.

Only he/she with serious Trans people and not troons and other freaks.

 

[lil bitch]

i only use he/she with serious trans people, and as long as they're friendly to me. i ain't gonna call someone "they" cuz to me that shit's pretty... odd.

 

[Murmur]

"He/she" if I like the person, "That faggot" if I don't.

 

[Lunete]

L oook like a man and I'm going to call you a man.
Sorry but I call it like I see it.

Only if they actually make effort to pass as their preferred sex/gender, and they aren't giant faggots.

To me, at least in the case of a friend that didn't go insane like Cosmo Wright, it just boils down to swapping a few words and a name and nothing else.

I'd go with preferred pronouns if the person is 1) putting at least some effort in looking the part (e. g. clean shave and female clothes for mtf) 2) not a screeching lunatic 3) said pronouns are he/she, fuck gender neutral and made up pronouns.

 

[Guts Gets Some]

Yes, you have a dick you're a "he", and if you have a vagina, you're a "she".

 

[Gorillagorillagorilla]

Really, most trans people I know irl are super polite so I owe it to them to use their preferred pronouns.

 

[Sofonda Cox]

"Groups"? No. There are individual circumstances where I might be willing to indulge someone, but that's what it is. An indulgence.

 

[MediocreMilt]

Yes: normal men and women.

Trannies can also be called their preference of he/she so long as they are otherwise not annoying (this is a privilege, not a right).

They/them and the made-up neutral pronouns will only leave my lips for the purposes of mockery.

 

[Mimic]

If I can't tell and they don't screech at me if I get it wrong the first time I'll respect it, as long as 'they' is as far as it goes.

 

[IV 445]

Uhhhh he/she if they’re a man/woman

Isn’t there a movement to start calling everybody the genderless noun comrade?

Also is it genderless, gender neutral, unisex, I can’t keep up with this troonery

 

[whatever I feel like]

I voted option A, as have all correct people!

I mean why even bother to debate it, you might as well call your dog a cat.

 

[SelmaHendersen]

I think if someone is clearly putting in the effort to transition and expresses symptoms of dysphoria, then we should be kind and call him/her by his/her preferred pronouns.

 

[dreamworks face]

Kings and Queens are allowed to use the royal we.

 

[verissimus]

No, only because people can't own words or force people to address them in a certain way without limiting their liberty. It's an agreed upon gesture as are many things in life.
