verbage question

Pages:1

1 Report	Zer0 at 3 Jan 2006: 13:18 Okay, so I understand that "shi" = primarily female-looking herm, but what about those that look primarily... male? what's the verbage that describes a more mannish looking herm? :P
2 Report	Fox Lee #vQjAI2qoik at 3 Jan 2006: 19:33 I think you might be out of luck. But why would you need an additional work? Do we have a different verb for manly women or girly males? I say don't sweat it ;p
3 Report (sage)	at 4 Jan 2006: 02:40 Point the first: You're looking for pronouns, not verbs (unless you mean verbiage) Point the second: For the love of whomever you feel an affinity to, don't used those damned pronouns. They're so clunky. Make my skin crawl, they do.
4 Report	at 4 Jan 2006: 12:19 >>3 Then what would be better to use? Maybe someone else can answe this question. I have yet to really hang woith any herms, altho the possibility is there, and I'd feel stupid if I messed up.
5 Report	Fox Lee #vQjAI2qoik at 4 Jan 2006: 18:38 Ask the individual, of course. Surely you'd be best off referring to them with whichever pronoun (Good point, >>3) they best identify with? Seems like a no-brainer to me.
6 Report	at 4 Jan 2006: 22:03 And if they choose to use a Gender Neutral Pronoun? Yes, shi is actually used as a GNP outside of furry works.
7 Report	at 6 Jan 2006: 04:08 i've seen "hir" also, when herms are addressed.
8 Report	at 6 Jan 2006: 06:31 "hir" and "shi" are just silly. say them out loud, and you're just saying "her" and "she" ... there's nothing gender neutral about that. just do what people already do naturally, use singular "they" and singular "them"
9 Report	Fox Lee #vQjAI2qoik at 7 Jan 2006: 08:32 >>6 Then use a gender-neutral pronoun, of course :p Where's the problem?
10 Report	at 7 Jan 2006: 14:56 >>8 I have been told that they're pronounced like "herr" (like the German word) and "shay", though my first impression was to pronounce them "here" and "shii" (like the ShiftJIS cat, with a long E).
