This water bottle is perfect for those who want to share their pronouns with pride! And for those who "don't understand pronouns" 🙄, we've included the definition right on the side of the bottle. Made with ❤️ & 🏳️⚧️

I think it's an interesting idea, but kinda weird that women have to be pink and men have to be blue, why not let people choose their color? Same with pronouns, my partner uses She/Them e.g., there are also many others people use, why not just let people define their own pronouns?
@ableeda The pink and blue are drawn from the transgender flag (and in the flag, pink represents the trans women and the blue represents the trans men). These colors are important to my community, and our artwork is designed to reflect that.🏳️⚧️
And we have many, many ways for folks to request the pronouns that they use and then have them printed on the water bottles!
Hey, y'all! My name is RKA and I'm thrilled about this product launch! Often the trans community is presented with products that use the same tired symbols or imagery, and we wanted to make something that was unique, well designed, and affirming.
The water bottles are also a shot across the bow at the people who claim "they don't understand pronouns." Everyone has pronouns. We've been using them for hundreds of years.
We get that people are afraid of dehydration and saying the wrong thing, so this product is designed to solve both of those problems 😉
If y'all've ever put your pronouns in your email signature, I encourage you to buy one of these bottles because it can serve the same purpose, but in real life. And you never know who will see that, in real life, and suddenly feel a bit more at ease.
We're making ≈$1-$2 off each order, so I'm not getting rich off of this. I just wanted to make something that was beautiful and purposeful. I hope y'all like it. ❤️
@jonzhan I love this question! The reason they’re presented in pairs is because the first of the pair is used as a a subject and the other one is used as an object. Presenting pronouns as a pair is a full articulation of the rule of grammar that is being introduced.
I think it’s also about differentiation the pairs. “He” and “She” can sound similar, whereas the pairs “She/Her” and “He/Him” are distinct enough in their respective pronunciations that it mitigates any chance for confusion / hearing things incorrectly.
That’s my theory. I’m not sure everyone loves grammar as much as I do, (I do think we subconsciously recognize the need to address the subject / object relationship) but I think it’s primarily about communicating in a way that eliminates the potential for mishearing something.
@robbi_katherine_anthony Ahh, bit late on this reply - thanks for your thoughts on this! I hadn't considered the disambiguation benefit. It would be possible to be both brief and unambiguous with her/him/them on their own though. (But it would not look as nice printed on a bottle)

Great product. The bottle fits well in a backpack or small bag. Easy to use. You can take it with you to school or training or just for a walk. Made for easy use, does not leak. I am happy with the product. It came on time, no damages, everything is in one piece. It can be used as a gift and as a household product. I put water softener pellets in it. The design is simple, but that's what I like about it.

@ableeda There is a custom option ! You just have to email them. You can get any color with any pronouns you please. I got She/They with Yellow as my color and I really like it :) The "pink is for women" "blue is for men" Is to help those within the binary easily associate the pronouns faster. Its more of an Ally ship product because Queer folk already know this issue and understand the concepts.

@anna_0x I hear that, although I know for myself, she/her pronouns are super important because I’ve had to fight for them (I haven’t always had them). Gender neutral pronouns are important (because they accurately reflect who certain folks are and can be used for everyone), but I’ll always advocate for gendered pronouns particularly for those who had to fight to have them. 🏳️⚧️

@robbi_katherine_anthony sure, but I mean, I think that ideally all ways to refer to someone in the third person should be neutral.
Say we're taking about my friend and I say “my friend has a huge dog.” You wouldn't know my friend's gender and it doesn't matter. But then I continue: “she really loves her dog!” Now I've suddenly revealed my friend's gender (or what I perceive to be my friend's gender!) even though it adds absolutely nothing to the conversation, so why do it?
I get the point of disclosing one's pronouns publicly but I think there should be no need for it. I'd much rather we get rid of them altogether 😅
@anna_0x I think we’re going to agree to disagree on this one!
I hear the theory of what you’re saying and I don’t entirely disagree with the overall thesis, but gendered pronouns are a critical component of the four dimensions of gender affirmation (which are a matter of life or death when looking at long term outcomes [such as suicide ideation, substance abuse, etc.] for the for the patient population that has gender incongruence).
Gender incongruence is tough, and the dysphoria that stems from it causes some horrific effects. Usage of the correct gendered pronouns can decrease some of the pain of dysphoria, which makes them absolutely necessary from my vantage point.
