Introductions

Introduce yourself: Name; Preferred Pronoun; Icebreaker Response; BRIEF Announcements

  • Icebreaker question:
    • Favorite way to cool off or opinions on zhe/zer
  • jenny - she/her - could use zhe/zer, i prefer being hot and sweat and oerheated to cooling off
  • scott - i think its nice to just get rid of gender - i like to be submersed in water or a fan
  • matt - ze/zer suits me fine - i like the ice bath -- immersion in very cold water
  • seth - he/they/ze - i like to walk it out
  • dan/radar - part of the amateur radio communtiy - gender's not that important to me - cool shower to stay cool or skiing
  • ryan - ze/zer is fine but i prefer they/them - being in the ocean or the woods
  • jackson - whatever pronouns you want - wrote a pretty lengthy twitter thread about generative pronouns - swimming in a pool
  • lesley - pronoun agnostic - ze/zer thing i once listened to greg eegan's diaspora as an audio book - lots of sentient characters with ze/zer pronouns - dousing myself with water even if im indoors
  • benny - he/him - might get used to xe/xir if everyone around me was doing it. Suck on ice cube
  • john-mark - he/him/they - xe/xir would be odd, they're still not very commonly used. Cooling off - playing in the sprinklers.
  • marc/juul - he/him - would get used to new pronouns fairly quickly. Jumping in water.
  • eve - i open all the windows
  • tyler - he/him - i feel old -- ze/zer goes over my head - cold yerba mate instead of hot stuff to cool down
  • sierk - used to be around -- havent been around recently -- riding my bike is my favorite way to cool off
  • mai - she/her/they/them - been involved in peoplesopen since 2017 - stand in front of a fan -- dumping ice on my head -- would feel fine about ze/zer pronouns as long as everyone is down
