I know some people say it as a joke, but the whole “my pronouns are ‘none’” thing really resonates with me because ideally to me, no one would refer to me at all. I get really uncomfortable when people remember facts about me, it just feels really weird. So thinking that people might talk about me when I’m not around is discomforting too.
This reminds me of a Mitch Hedberg bit: "If anyone wants to see me after the show I'll be... fucking surprised" 🙃😎
It’s just like this meme:
Me
If you assume to have ceased to be, you are. One that ceased to exist can't assume anything 😊
