I've written about the Things and their pronoun preferences, but I thought it would be fun and helpful to share the preferences of some of the other characters in the things.
Editorial note, when this was written preferred pronouns was the more common language, but language evolves, now it would just be "pronouns". Language evolves and saying personal pronouns is a nice way of recognizing that identity isn't just a matter of preference, it's a matter of life!
