I'm hoping that by understanding what the rules my brain follows and telling it new rules (rather than exceptions that I didn't know how to justify to that part of the brain) I'll be able to reprogram myself to use the correct pronouns.Īs far as my pronouns go, I think I went with any/all as a freedom from being confined to one role-my brain probably only went with because I see myself in the mirror/videos less often than I see myself from the 1st person POV, somehow making it easier to ignore my appearance and to some extent how my brain would gender me-but with my new perspective on pronouns, even as much as I'm fine with any/all and am a proponent of they/them as a gender neutral singular, it/its fits the best.

Attempts to alter that bit of my brain by telling it to change someone's pronouns didn't properly reprogram that bit. I think I've figured out where the issue comes from (or at least part), which is that as much as I've begun to get a proper understanding of gender, my wiring about pronouns remained unchanged because I had no understanding/sense of gender to attach it to.

Tl dr: After realizing why the programming in my brain for how to pronoun is wrong, I've realized that my pronouns are probably it/its and not any/all.įor a while, I've been having problems with figuring out how to get my brain to stop being cisnormative about pronouns despite being an enby.
