I did not mean to use the wrong pronouns to refer to You earlier, sorry. I imagine the majority of people just don't understand it, and so won't respect or accept it at all.
If you don't mind me asking, how does being divinegender relate to Your pronoun usage? How do Your pronouns work verbally? I'm genuinely curious about this.
Wow, you're being really trans accepting. Thank you so much.
Well, three years ago I realised I was goddessgender (this is a subset of divinegender), and My goddess-mother told Me I should try capitalised pronouns. I tried them, and they gave Me gender euphoria, so I kept them. As for verbally? Most people can neither pronounce nor hear the difference, so I'm not picky about it at all.
I only ever had one problem with pronoun capitalisation being spoken. I had this ex girlfriend who was hiding My gender from her other partners because she was scared they were going to be transphobic about it. So she took advantage of their inability to hear the difference and let them think she was using lowercase pronouns. I didn't consent to being put back in the closet by her, and considered it misgendering, since it's dishonest about My pronouns. It had a lot to do with why we broke up.
