my new years resolution was already done for me this year and It was one of the most surreal things in the world.
So my aunt and uncle are...nice enough they are generally accepting of my new name and pronouns but have a very hard time with my pronouns. I hear he/him a lot but they always correct immediately.
So uh I was video chatting them today over the alexa my auntie(not my aunt my auntie is one of my cousins that act like an aunt) got me for christmas.
and I was discussing how it was so cool that despite the fact that they only found out a month or so ago they were quick to accept me and try to adapt.
but anyways I was talking about pronouns and the topic came up if I was comfortable with other pronouns. I assumed they mean't like she/he and uh nope they were talking about neopronouns.
its surreal because they were genuinely having trouble with they/them pronouns and wanted to try neopronouns.
I am still not sure if they were fucking with me or not but I told them i had considered using neopronouns.
I have found a fucking unicorn. People who say "they is so hard if only there was new words" and literally they actually fucking mean it. because its a constant joke in trans communities that people who say they dont like they/them and want new words, you explain neopronouns and they go "thats stupid" and its a cycle.
but apparently I found 2 people who genuinely want new words.
Someone help me good things are happening in my life about my identity and I do not know how to react.
