odd question from left field: how the hell do tumblrinas go on dates with so many labels?!

Fallacy: Implying that they go on dates implies that they leave the house, which we know is in general not true.

I like the domgender one, since it's basically saying " I have multiple genders, but only ever act on one of them." It lets them feel special without making them change anything. I'd be surprised if they didn't have something like that for the people that claim to have multiple personalities, too.

if i remember correctly, the people who say they have "headmates" sometimes do say they have dominant personnalities... so chances are, you're totally right on both counts

A dreamwidth community thread has a joke title of "pronouns: dragon, dragons, dragonself", which got this response:

the post title is really tacky unless you're trans, mod. It's fine if we make fun of dumb sparklegenders. It's not really cool when cis people do.

good job just assuming the mod is cis tho

Assuming the internet is 99% demigirl omnisexuals is some batshit sparklegender logic. The mod is probably cis if we're going rule of nubmers here. Most of the members of the community are probably also cisgender and we don't need to open the comm to those kinds of jokes being made in front of them.

do you even go here? we've had anons explaining why sparklegenders are linguistically bullshit on here. we've had anons explaining why sparklegenders are hurting trans/nb acceptance. we make fun of sparklegenders all the time, because they're ridiculous special-snowflakeself hooey.

They are ridiculous hooey but it still doesn't warrant a post title.

So, you know the majority of cis people in this thread make fun of sparklegenders because they hurt the trans community, but you don't want them to joke about it because . . . those same cis people will suddenly start making fun of the trans community?

"Sparkle" has been used as an adjective for "special snowflake" and "Mary Sue" qualities.  For example, I've seen the term "sparkledog" used a lot over the years to describe the plethora Mary Sue canine OCs.  In this case, "sparklegender" refers to those nounself pronouns, like bunself and faeself, since the majority of them are most likely being used by people who want to be super special.

I stumbled upon another one:

pronoun stuff


•they/their/themselves
•fae/faer/faerselves
•co/cos/coselves
•vae/vaer/vaerselves
•nov/novs/novselves

What do these even mean?

Obviously, they're pronouns used to refer to the following:
* Humans
* Fairies
* Cosplayers
* Vaeris (sic) from Game of Thrones
* New Stars

Why are they're so many of them?

How many letters are there now?

I absolutely adore the ones that add the threat of "calling you out". It's almost like they believe they can stop someone from using it as they please.

At first, I thought the "flag" was a picture of a YouTube video that was failing to load properly.
