On the one hand, I get that sometimes people are curious as to why I use it/its pronouns and ask me what my reasoning for it is and I try my best to explain, but on the other hand I'm kinda tired and not good at explaining things and I wish my pronouns didn't need to be supported with well thought out reasons that I have to explain carefully to people.

Sometimes you just wanna be comfortable and the pronouns give you euphoria that others don't. You can construct all the narratives in the world to support why you feel that way, and they may all be true but none of it is necessary to just... -want- to use a set of pronouns for yourself.

I think the thing that finally allowed me to understand this one is I saw a conversation that was like:

"isn't using it/its kind of dehumanizing"

"thats the point"

"ohhhhhhhh"

Yes. I feel the same. In that I also just want to be viewed as explicitly not human. I like when that part of me gets recognised.

I just feel like the more I try to explain my pronouns the more I realise I can't -really- explain it. It just invokes the feelings of comfort I need. I want to be an animal. I want my identity to be fully covered in fur and to be a creature.

Gender is weird, pronouns are weird, in the end we all just sorta stumble with words that give us the right kind of happy feelings.

Yeah, I understand even if this isn't personally how I feel about myself. And you shouldn't have to explain it, but unfortunately right now society is in this state where we're on the cutting edge of recontextualizing how people think about gender and identity stuff, so if you don't explain it it won't be understood well.

I just am tired and I wanted to vent about being tired and not having the words for it all the time despite people demanding I do, that's all :\

I'm not a good at words kind of person, I am in fact very bad at words a lot of the time, but depending on your identity, people kind of just expect you to be super good at words and explaining everything and it's not fair.

I just needed to vent, is all, I am sorry. I'm frustrated.

No I completely get it, nothing to apologize for.

"It makes me happy" is a perfectly valid response to questions like that. I know I couldn't offer any deep insight on why I use she/her beyond it making me happy.
