minus-squareapotheotic (she/her)@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 hours agoWhy would you assume that the people who have their pronouns on display are cisgender? That’s baffling Trans people, like myself, put their pronouns on display so that they can avoid being misgendered in the exact way I’ve described to you. The only cis people, I’d imagine, who bother to do the same are people who are doing it in allyship with trans folk. Very few people care very much about this Sure, okay, yeah. And the people who do care, put their pronouns there for you to respect. Quite frankly, if an infinitesimal set of your emails even include pronouns in the footer to begin with, why is it such a bugbear for you?
