I realized a while ago that I wasn't sure of the correct pronouns for some of the people I know here, and I'd like to. So, please comment and tell me what pronouns to use for you. (Note that I'm not screening these comments, in case that's relevant: I know at least one person who uses different pronouns online and in person.)

I'm trying to default to "they" when I don't know people's pronouns, but I may not always realize I don't know.

My pronouns are she/her, and I'm fine with they/them, zie/zir, or Spivak pronouns if you use them for everyone. (ETA, since someone asked: Spivak pronouns are e/em/eir or ey/em/eir: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spivak_pronoun. (I ran across these on a LambdaMOO clone, which is also where I first used [personal profile] redbird as a username.)

Since you found my pronoun entry (and asked some good questions which I have ignored in favor of being in the arms of my belov'd but will answer!), I have two levels of personal pronouns!

Entry level: they/them/theirs

Advanced usage: hon/honey/hons

The "entry level" pronouns are for folks who are shifting their mindsets and learning how to use beyond the binary pronouns because I'd rather hear something that is neutral in describing me than hear something that is just plain wrong.
