What pronouns will you be using for your baby?

Question

I’ve noticed a lot of people using they/them for their babies from birth lately and was wondering what pronouns you’ll be using? I’ll be using male pronouns for when my son is born until he tells me otherwise. •THIS IS NOT MEANT TO CAUSE AN ARGUMENT! DO NOT BASH ANYONE FOR THEIR OPINIONS! I understand that society is still evolving with this topic so please be mindful :)

Accepted Answer

You've noticed a lot of people do this? I don't know even one person who does this.

Answer

My baby was born a female, so I will be referring to her as a female.
If someday she choices to be called otherwise she can make the choice.
Calling her anything but female is taking away the choice for her.

Answer

If its a girl she will be a she/her
If its a boy he will be he/him
If people are seriously doing this shit to their babies its no wonder so many people are rejecting their gender

Answer

Y’all please don’t confuse your children unnecessarily... let them have a childhood and be free before they enter the adult world of MESS.

Answer

Am I the only person who calls it an it before I find out the gender 🤣

Answer

I use they/them a lot in reference to people in general just out of habit, but my baby’s sex is male so I’ll probably use he/his/him unless he ever tells me otherwise. 
Pronouns are important, but they can be fluid, so there’s definitely nothing wrong with defaulting to cisgendered pronouns until the child is old enough to specify otherwise. There’s also nothing wrong with defaulting to gender neutral pronouns either.

Answer

I’ve been using “they/them” because we’re waiting until birth to know the sex. Once baby is born I’ll go with traditional pronouns for that sex.

Answer

I say "they" on here because I don't know the sex of my baby. When my child is born I'll use the pronouns commonly associated with their sex from birth. If my child tells me otherwise then I'll adjust then.

Answer

I’m not going to confuse my child. If my child is a boy, it’s he or him. If she’s a girl, it’s she or her.

Answer

I'm having a girl so she
