Among my innumerable pronoun sets is ꙮ/ꙮm/ꙮr/ꙮrs/ꙮself. I have never actually been called these pronouns because everyone gravitates towards she/her and xe/xem, which are my favorite sets; but ꙮ/ꙮm still remain listed in case someone would be so unimaginably based as to actually use them.

How do you type ꙮ/ꙮm/ꙮr? Well either you copy-paste, or you know how to type Unicode characters (I can't figure this out TBH), or you have a custom keyboard layout that maybe lets you type the Cyrillic multiocular O by hitting AltGr+O or something — or you perhaps do what I do, which is that I use the custom dictionary feature of my Japanese IME such that ⟨Se⟩ brings up ⟨ꙮ⟩, likewise ⟨Sm⟩ → ⟨ꙮm⟩, ⟨Sr⟩ → ⟨ꙮr⟩, ⟨Sz⟩ → ⟨ꙮrs⟩, and ⟨Ss⟩ → ⟨ꙮself⟩.

Alright, the obvious next question: how do you actually read ꙮ/ꙮm/ꙮr out loud???

—The answer is that nothing is necessarily stopping you from reading ꙮ/ꙮm/ꙮr in any way you like, in fact nothing even stipulates that you need to use the inflections ꙮm/ꙮr rather than any other inflectional pattern; but nevertheless I personally prefer the readings seraph/seraphim/seraphyr/seraphyrs/seraphimself... Get it? It's like, you reinterpret the Hebrew masculine plural suffix as an analogy of him and them, and then you derive the possessive forms from her and hers with spelling influenced by zephyr and xyr. I like to imagine that I am clever sometimes, huh!

If one is to use the seraph/seraphim readings, however, then one may also use any number of reduced forms in unstressed positions, to more clearly signal the word's pronominality: /s/ may be rendered as [z] and /f/ may be rendered as [v], and /ɛɹə/ may be rendered as [ɛɹ̠ʷ] [ɹ̠ʷ] [ə] [ə̥] or may be deleted entirely; and we may observe resyllabification effects with adjacent words as well. The exact form of reduction of ꙮ/ꙮm/ꙮr depends on how extreme the reduction is on a spectrum, as well as the environment surrounding the reduced form — such as whether it's before or after a vowel vs consonant, before or after a voiced or voiceless sound, things like that.

In any case, you might think that it's a bit counterintuitive to get "seraph" and "seraphim" from ꙮ/ꙮm, at least if you're unaware of the fact that the Cyrillic multiocular O represents the many eyes of the seraphim... But if that's the case, then you can simply add ruby characters: {ꙮ|seraph}, {ꙮ|seraphi}m, {ꙮ|seraphy}r, {ꙮ|seraphy}rs, {ꙮ|seraphim}self. And if you're writing on a website or program that does not support ruby characters, then that's their problem, not yours.

We run Trans Rescue, a charity that helps trans people escape from dangerous places We've of course added amerikkka to the list, and our main campaign this year is to educate people on how to get out of the US during the increasingly possible biden-fall lame duck period.We post little cartoons and explainers on a few social media sites. Shares appreciated cat-trans Many people feel stuck, or are stuck, due to family ties. Do you all have any first or second hand perspectives/stories on this?

If you need help planning your own escape from the USA, email usa-campaign@transrescue.org for a free consultation.

We've made a video explaining how countries make immigration decisions and how you can work within that system to get yourself out of the USA.

Took me a bit and I am a little drunk but here are the totals. We had a good showing.

Note: some comments got cut out because the server doesn't like displaying more than 300 from what I can tell. I did my best with what it would show, I just sorted them by new. This should be fairly representative of the currently active userbase. As an aside, I believe we did a similar survey a looong time ago, and we had only 33% of the active userbase as trans.


Random thoughts:

A lot of people were very very cute and confused and essentially asked me to decide their gender for them. Eggs? Probably. This isn't Harry Potter and I'm not a hat so I just went with what they were sounding more convinced of.

A lot of people are even cuter and don't understand how to follow instructions, though some of this is my fault. Made this a little harder to organize.

Some people were not cis and did not identify with the words 'transgender' or 'gender diverse'. If I ever do a trans/adjacent survey again, I think I will ask 'Are you cis?'

I may do a survey for queer people overall eventually, and the question will be 'Are you cishet?'

I would love to do more scientific, inclusive polling and have better and more questions and options, but we need some good secure polling tech for that, which we don't have. So I just have to ask simple questions and get a handful of answers.

Next time I will look into how feasible it is to post a couple of comments and get responders to upvote certain ones. This might fix the issue of the display of comments being limited.

Since some people have two sets of pronouns, both of their pronouns are included separately.

Since the poll was public, some marginalized groups probably shied away from answering. If we ever get a secure way to poll people, we would get more realistic estimates of the trans and cis women userbase.

If you think something is fucked, you can do it yourself, the thread is public. Hope you like pie! shrug-outta-hecks
