I usually avoid using pronouns until I'm about 90% sure, and even then, if I still have niggling doubt, I'll ask, sometimes privately, to clarify. I'm probably overly careful when it comes to pronouns, but I guess it's because I know how important it can be to people.

I'd say I'm pretty open minded, and accepting of most people, provided they aren't doing any harm, and genuinely believe that they associate better with a particular identification. I will entertain a few of the esoteric ones, within reason, but I won't, as I said earlier in this thread, entertain people who treat identities like hats.

It's asking for trouble even some may accept it, other won't. I think it sounds better than the algebra equations but then I'm a person who prefers to find out their nickname or find out how they identify. Sometimes I create nicknames like I used to call Kannap as Kanna.

Definitely IT. ET didn't freak me out at all. My parents were a little lax when it comes to what movies I could watch growing up. Nothing too bad, but clearly films that were beyond my age range at the time.

And I'll rarely don a hat. I just seem to be a maverick to some degree, yet comeback realizing I'm not who I thought I was.

There's a lot of trendy queer types who believe gender is genuinely nothing more than putting on a different "hat". The "all gender is drag" types. I've made my opinion of those people known in the past.

When I say identity, I mean gender, or sexual identity. Not personality, or visual style, or social graces, or anything like that.

That sounds like a leading question, and therefore, a sneaky Julian trap.
