"average cis person has familiarity with 3 atypical pronouns" factoid is actually statistical error. average cis person has basic familiarity with they/them. Pronouns Oizys, who has tumblr & discord and interacts with 10,000 different pronouns every day, is an outlier and should not have been counted ( ˘ ³˘)♥ ( ˘ ³˘)♥ ( ˘ ³˘)♥ (ik ur not cis but alskdfjs;lkdfja it can be pronouns meri if u want idk)

i am . poisoning data sets >:]

but ty!! i thought the bigender-binatural connection was cool too <33

and actually!! the workshop went over better than i thought it might!! only one person actually mentioned the pronouns thing and everyone seemed to understand when i explained character being bigender + seemed to think my solution of only changing pronouns between sentences (rather than at every switch point) would work better. i also had one person say they got the hang of the pronoun thing partway through so they thought it was good, and my prof made a point in her feedback letter to say she thought it worked well and wasnt confusing at all :]

honestly it kinda looked like the reason so many people said the pronoun thing wasnt bc they really had issue with it, it was bc they needed Smth to say for 'areas of improvement' and most genuinely didntve anything to add!! which in a roundabout way is really cool!! bc it means they all loved my work a lot and thought i did very good INCLUDING on the dialogue which is what i was most worried about
