開學季。這兩週內無止境的自我介紹，社會設計系相關的課程活動中，總是要求我們除了自介名字以外還要加說明「我個人喜歡被指稱的代名詞」。
所以選擇有：He/him, She/her, They/them. 分別代表男性、女性、中性(或不想被特別指涉)。 這件事對中文來說真是怪到不行！(寫也許有差，但說就完全不用留意。)
目前是覺得有好有壞啦： 中文因為沒有清楚的性別區分，所以不會在日常談話中就一直不斷次刺激到大家的性別認同。但也許也因為這樣，我們比較不容易留意到大家的認同，或有點順勢默默閃避開來沒有正視這個議題的狀態（？）然後都只有在檯面下偷偷評論？ 今天終於搞清楚這是怎麼一回事，然後也終於在圓圈中聽到除了 He 和 She 的選擇後，只能說很欣賞這種可以端上檯面自在表達認同的空間和機會！ #默默好奇 難道T大社會系的自介現在也有包含這個了嗎？ 你有留心過「他」「她」「你」「妳」選字的請舉手？
There were tons of self introductions going on through out these 2 weeks! And I noticed that in Social Design classes, events we were asked to share: Names, preferred pronouns, and some other personal experiences/ fun facts/ etc. I didn't get to join many introductory sessions in other programs, but the only two I went, they don't have this "pronoun preference" part. Today we finally get to know why we're doing it! 😎 That's totally something excites me very much!! So, it's an act of "de-genderizing". By doing so, we're more respectful and supportive to people who don't feel their identities are relate to what the language defaults to them!!
