+    Some people genuinely use <strong>no pronouns</strong> (or “none”) as part of their identity — that’s valid.  
+    In those cases, refer to them by name instead of using pronouns.  
+    If you’re confused, just ask politely and move on.

+    However, if you say “I don’t have pronouns” because you think grammar is oppression or you want to mock queer people — congratulations, you just outed yourself as both wrong and boring.  
+    Everyone has pronouns in language; respecting others isn’t optional, and grammar isn’t a battlefield.

     <li>Dehumanizing someone for being otherkin, furry, or robotkin will get you banned faster than you can say “tolerance.”</li>
     <li>If you think these identities are “cringe” or “weird,” you’re free to go touch grass and scream into a void instead.</li>
