I am a female person who will get annoyed if someone calls me a female. Female should be used as an adjective. And there are some days where I think that I am just me. Whatever that could mean. ---

White, CIS-male, heterosexual. A failure as a heterosexual but heterosexual none the less. ---

I am male, and my pronouns are she and him. Just kidding about the pronouns, but I do wonder if people are allowed to mix and match depending on whether it’s the subjective or objective case. ---

I don’t. Other people reliably say I’m male, though, so to reduce confusion that’s what I tell people on the rare occasions it comes up. ---

> [@Dallas\_Jones](#): > > I am a meat popsicle. That’s a very nice hat. 😜 Do you have a Lelu Dallas-Jones multipass while you’re at it? Okay, had to get that out of my system. Male, hetero, married, white-ish (Jewish), educated uses he/him (unless I’m feeling super pompous and address myself as ‘this one’), slowly turning to dust from age. ---
