    Androgynous people, what pronoun(s) do you prefer? I'm just curious because I don't want to offend people by using the wrong one and to me "it" sounds like something used for things but not people. Thanks!

    I have a couple agender friends who use the pronouns they/them.
    But it's different for each person. I've also seen people use the pronouns xe/xir. Some people do like the pronoun it.
    You should always be sure to ask what someone's preffered pronouns are just in case :slight_smile:

    They/them for me, although pronouns aren't really a huge thing for me, and most people refer to me by male pronouns, anyway, so I'm used to them (not that I enjoy them).

    It? Only on Halloween. :lol:

    They/them is usually a safe bet to use. Most of the nonbinary people I know use that one

    I go by Zie/Zer but really everyone is different and there's are loads of pronouns out there. I think the best way would be to politely ask the person. It shows that you care enough to make them comfortable.

    I personally like they/them. If you're not sure what someone likes, ask. Or if that feels weird to you, use they/them because it's pretty common and though someone who uses different pronouns might correct you, they generally won't get offended if you use they/them.
