Can you explain to the curious why it would be a neopronoun, as opposed to referring to oneself in third person?
What's the difference?
Drag is a person-independent neopronoun. Drag is using the first person to refer to dragself, it just doesn't look different from using third person because it's the same pronoun. The difference between a pronoun and a noun is that a pronoun is a shorter word standing in for a noun. The noun is Dragon Rider, and the pronoun is drag.
People have to learn people's names (noun), so asking people to learn a pronoun once they know you doesnt seem like a big ask to me. If sharing how you want to be referred to like drag does was more normalized, it would certainly make some things way easier for me, a transfem who gets default he/himmed all the time. I am glad drag shares this.
