Someone dear to me changed their pronouns for a while then changed them back. No harm done. Experiment terminated successfully. They know what they don’t want. It was easy. It was FREE. It left no lasting changes. This should be a normal part of finding yourself. That doesn’t mean everyone has to do it. It means it’s no longer outside the range of possibilities for actions when you’re trying to figure out where you are and where you fit in. Respect when someone changes their pronouns. And respect if they change them back without harassment and “see I told you sos.” It’s simple, it’s empathetic, and it doesn’t cost you a damned dime.
