How to use my pronouns


Previously in my life, I have gone by conventional pronouns (i.e. she/her (recognising as cisgender woman) and he/him (recognising as a transgender man). But while recognising as somewhat non-binary (e.g. genderfluid, non-binary generally, demi-boy and maverique) I discovered neopronouns which made me feel more comfortable when referring to myself. As these are becoming more mainstream many more people are growing to accept and attempting to use my designated pronouns; however, I understand they can be difficult for people to understand, so I am providing a guide straight from the horse's mouth. 

My designated pronouns are bee/they, with bee being my preferred option. Bee pronouns are a type of neopronoun, specifically a nounself pronoun, that is derived from the animal, the bee. But first, lets start of with they/them pronouns; I use these as I recognise as non-binary however, not all non-binary people use they/them pronouns (as pronouns do not equal gender). Many people argue that 'they/them' are not valid pronouns as they are plural; but not many people realise that we use they/them pronouns singularly on a day-to-day basis. For example, if a person you didn't know lost their wallet and you found it, you would say 'I will give it to them', because you don't know their gender and you wouldn't want to presume. 

They/them pronouns can be used in the following ways:

I'm taking them out for lunch; they're hungry.

I met them today.

They love themself.

Now bee/beeself pronouns are a set of gender neutral nounself pronouns inspired by the bee coined by pronoun archives in June 2016. They can be used by any person of any gender identity and are my preferred set of pronouns. 

Bee/beeself pronouns can be used in the following ways:

I'm taking bee out for lunch; bees hungry.

I met bee today. 

Bee loves beeself
