Today is International Pronouns Day!

Why does it matter?
(tl;dr: Instead of erasing someone's experience, honour them by respecting their pronouns)

We all use pronouns every day to refer to those around us, most of the time not even thinking about it.

It is common for people to assume others’ pronouns based on looks and name (e.g., someone looks feminine or has a feminine sounding name, so people automatically use "she, her, hers" to refer to them). It is also common to use "he/she" and "his or hers" when writing or speaking to recognize that they might be unsure of an individual’s gender.

This is problematic. Many individuals use a pronoun to refer to themselves that does not correspond to the pronoun people may assume they use based on looks or their name. Using "he/she" also reinforces the gender binary (that there are only two genders), when we know this is not true (there are many genders).

Assuming pronouns and using "he/she" erases the narratives and experiences of those identifying outside of the confines of male, female, man, and woman; non-binary people.

We love to share pleasure-based information to help people ♥️ their parts! Want to know more about the S*xual Response Cycle? Check out this fantastic comic from Oh Joy S*x Toy (Erika Moen's Comics and Art). Note: This may be NSFW for some folks.

I took some liberty with my listing of the s*xual response stages, as I already noted in the comic above. Most commonly, when people talk about the SRC, they're referring to the classic Masters and Johnson's four phase model, which just includes Excitement, Plateau, Or**sm, and Resolution. But then
