More than once we have come across some ill informed armchair psychologist who tried to tell us we weren’t real or a coping mechanism or some other opinion they pulled out of their ass. Anymany else experienced this?
The other thing we see often is ‘jokes’ about us using we which derails the whole conversation as we calmly explain what we are, but the thing is it never returns to the conversation afterwards and invariably the above group show up and are unnecessarily mean, their full willful ignorance on display.
Anymany else experienced any of these scenarios? If so how do y’all deal with it?
I’m just a mono, but I think the culprits of this negativity (I have not seen personally though) are those two things:
-the silly “trend” on YouTube where people exploit this so much just to be special. Where you watch a minute and be like “this ain’t like this you stupid brat”.
-the confusion of people regarding to pronouns. Especially if they hear “we”. As if they’re not already struggling with all those neopronouns. “We” is something known despite still ungraspable to them in this context.
It’s just my personal observation and opinion though. I lack the data to form a professional opinion…
Just so you know, we think the correct term is singlet, if you mean you’re not plural.
There’s a silly trend on youtube? Exploit what exactly?
Yeah, it’s a shame because we would happily explain but it’s exhausting when assholes who don’t know what the fuck they are talking about show up and show their asses to all and sundry.
Fair enough.
