Avoiding Pronouns, as Oppose to Just Using the Right Ones

[Yakshini]

I have found that very often, my friends and family that I am out to, generally avoid using pronouns when referring to me. I know it isn't because they are uncomfortable with calling me "he", just that they are trying to avoid offending anyone. If someone is unaware or unaccepting of my being trans, they won't call me "she" just to spare them.
The other day I noticed how smoothly my SO could avoid pronouns when talking about me. When I commented on it, he mentioned that he has gotten so use to avoiding pronouns that he no longer uses pronouns when talking about anyone. My sister, who was also in the room, said that she does the same thing. Heck, I've noticed that I do it too for the fear that I am talking to/about someone who is a closeted transgender.

Do you find that it is more common for people to use correct, incorrect, or just avoid pronouns all together? Do you find yourself doing it as well?

Wow this is funny, ya know my mom and I had a convo about this just last week. She's getting better at using the right ones so when we went to lunch with a friend of hers it was very clear when she avoided the pronouns altogether. When I talked to her she said it was because her friend uses the wrong pronouns so instead of correcting her friend she just avoids pronouns around her.

For the most part everyone uses pronouns which means I'm forced to correct people about 25% of the time. I avoid using my pronouns and names around my grandpa because he refuses to use the right ones and get awkward when I do but everyone else I use the right ones.

I haven't noticed much of a difference in my parents, which is a shame. I would much rather them avoid pronouns than use the wrong ones. My dad is the worst though. He still calls me girl nicknames like "sweetie" and "little girl". Blegh. I'm slowly accepting that it isn't going to change with him any time soon. However, I have noticed that I've been avoiding pronouns, and not just when talking about myself.

my dad does this. he avoids using any kind of name for me too. When I say, 'who are you talking about? I think we all need more information.' He just smiles indulgently and says 'you.'  this only happened when I moved across the country - before that he was struggling, but we had a break through when he finally called me Jon and he and then....he just suddenly stopped.
