Edit: I also just got banned for apparently being a troll. Me. Not the person they believe to be a dragon though.

    What does it mean to identify as a fae? Do they literally think they’re a fae from folklore?

    And to be clear, this is a genuine question.

      I’m no authority to speak on this, but I can say (gender) identity and pronouns aren’t necessarily linked. Some people might lean into the fairy thing for their aesthetic or identity, others wouldn’t. Some might use fae/faer pronouns explicitly to break out of the gender binary / ternary, others might just find that these pronouns fit them. I hope someone with more knowledge on the matter could weigh on.
