SUDDEN ONSET PRONOUN DYSPHORIA

If I wanted to avoid using pronouns and I wanted to tell you, for instance, about this woman who was on the bus with me this morning, and how she was talking in an annoyingly loud voice to her friend on her cellphone, things would get awkward for both of us. In other words:

If the person who is writing this wanted to avoid using pronouns and the person who is writing this wanted to tell the person whom the person who is writing this is addressing, for instance, about this woman who was on the bus with the person who is writing this this morning, and how this woman was talking in an annoyingly loud voice to this woman’s friend on this woman’s cellphone, things would get awkward for both the person who is writing this and the person whom the person who is writing this is addressing.

 LET’S TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER ---

    LET’S ABOLISH ALL PRONOUNS!!!

So if the person who is writing this is asked, “What’s your preferred pronouns?” the person who is writing this will respond: “The person who is speaking prefers that the person whom the person who is speaking is addressing not use any pronouns at all when referring to the person who is speaking. Rather, the person who is speaking prefers that the person whom the person who is speaking is addressing use: (subject) “the indicated person”, (object) “the indicated person”, (possessive) 0“the indicated person’s”. Thus the title of this paragraph REALLY ought to have been:

“LET A GROUP OF TWO OR MORE PERSONS WHICH INCLUDES THE PERSON WHO IS WRITING THIS TAKE SOMETHING A STEP FURTHER -- LET THE GROUP OF PERSONS WHICH INCLUDES THE PERSON WHO IS WRITING THIS ABOLISH ALL PRONOUNS!”
