Panel 1 begins with two people standing at opposite ends. One person is thin with pale skin, long red hair and no facial features. They’re wearing a baggy sweater and shorts, and they’re saying, “They/them pronouns are confusing! Wouldn’t it be easier to create something new?” The person on the right is thin with light brown skin, short dark brown hair, and a short beard. They’re wearing a cropped rainbow-striped tank, full pink skirt, long black gloves and knee-high hot pink boots. They’re striking a pose and smiling, saying, “Well…new pronouns aren’t really a new idea.”Next panel shows a lean person with brown skin and chin-length straight blond hair, smiling and holding up a fist as if about to fist-bump someone. Panel reads: “We’ve actually been talking about this for decades…” Next panel shows a thin, broad person with tan skin and short swept-back black hair, smiling at the person in the other panel and pointing at them. Panel reads: “And we’ve got some ideas!” The next few panels show a series of “My pronouns are…” tags with the following pronouns: ey/em/eirs, per, thon, xe/xem/xyr, ze + hir. Next panel shows a thin light-skinned person with a short black beard and short black hair. They’re smiling, wearing suspenders and a rainbow cape. Panel reads: “Some of us do use these!”Next panel shows the person from the first panel on a light purple background. Panel reads: “But they/them has recently gotten more popular, and there are a few reasons why. It’s been hard for people to agree on one of these new sets of pronouns. Some critics dismiss these pronouns specifically because they’re ‘made up.’ There is a long history of they/them being used as a singular pronoun. Adapting something established can be easier than creating something new.”Next few panels show the same people from previous panels. These panels read: “I was pushing them for ey/em, but they/them will do then.” “Yes, learning new pronouns for someone can be challenging.” “But imagine how tough it can be to figure out you want to use different pronouns.” Next panel shows the person from the beginning and reads: “It means a lot to people to get their pronouns right. So it’s definitely worth doing even if it feels confusing or hard.” Three panels beneath this show three different people, with the text: “Please use they/them pronouns for me!” “Please use ze/zir pronouns for me!” “Please trust that we have thought about this!” End description.] -- source link
