Gods this was basically what trying gender neutral pronouns was like. Figured I would give them a try, how much difference can they make?

Wow, why does every friendship suddenly feel closer and more real? Huh, I actually can spend time with people and not feel drained? Why is my long-term skin and inflammation problems suddenly and inexplicably clear up?

Oh wait... These health problems can be caused by stress! What else can be caused by stress (reads list)

Oh shit. Yeah that also stopped being a problem... And this one... Wait, I don't have joint problems as much either....

oh shiiiiiiiit

wait, we don't want to tell people to refer to us by plural pronouns, we're weird enough.

Get that you're just being silly and irreverent and all and I see you... But not exactly great to imply that plural pronouns are a problem that makes you implicitly odd to other people? Just... Sayin.

why shouldn't we imply that we would get the exact response that we get for hinting at our identity were we to legitimately assume it instead of dance around it and let people assume we're joking?

You can always get weirder. The universe needs it.
