Yeah, I'm pretty much done with feminine pronouns. They only fit marginally better than masculine ones.

The funny thing is, I tried hard to push for gender-nonspecific pronouns fifteen years ago or so, but untreated anxiety and depression meant I couldn't weather the social pushback for terribly long. I'm glad you kids have it comparatively easy these days, and I'm glad I can get back to helping make the push the rest of the way.
