I refuse to endorse gender pronouns

Even the bullshit she/her ones similar to the he/him ones that men are pushed to use to 'identify' their 'gender'.

So I refuse to endorse gender pronouns - they are used by people who are mentally deficient.

You have every right to feel the way the you feel.

As far as myself, personally, I'm no doctor I cannot speak to anyone's mental health, however I do believe in human kindness, showing everyone respect because I feel that every adult has to the right to live however they see fit. If I don't give another human being anything else, I will always give them respect. But that's just me.

For example, I hate being called Miss/Mrs/Ms Charlton. Especially 'ms'. as that directly implies mental incapacity to 'presume' a single women of mature age is a 'ms'. Maybe I should put a fake wedding ring on and then everyone will look at my hand and presume I'm a 'mrs'. ewww

@butterflybaby75 I get you. I hate it too but it's so normalized that I don't even know what else to use. I'm usually referred to as mrs even if I'm single. I guess people rather use it by the age I look than marital status. Ms is for teens and girls in their early 20s, anything past that sounds ridiculous.
Anyway, I remember when I started shifting from ms to mrs and it made me feel old. 😅 Also, a word for random woman is "aunty" here which when I got referred to with around 20, all my hair stood up. Excuse me? Aunty?
