When you're abused, it impacts how you interact with non-abusers in the future. Our boundaries get eroded. We literally can get to a point where we don't need to ask for boundaries. Coupled with that, we can get to a point where we don't know healthy ways to ask for help, either

Letting authors use neopronouns (like xe/xir) is as important as they/them pronouns. Concerned there's a typo? Google the author to see what their pronouns are in other bios. Ask (respectfully) as a last step. Make it clear you're checking bc you care about getting it right.
