I’m sort of like in the “pronouns should be earned” camp. In real life, I feel like people should use the pronouns that come naturally based on how they perceive your sex and it’s wrong to ask for pronouns. Online, I expect people will use whichever pronouns they are most comfortable. I know that this sub has rules against misgendering, but for me personally, if any GC posters would feel more comfortable using male pronouns for me, please do. I’m not really sure how often pronouns would be used anyway, but I’m really not trying to force anyone to pretend they believe something they don’t.

I’m not sure what courtesy I give only to GC, but I try to listen and understand everyone’s perspective as much as possible and try not to speak for people with different life experience than my own. I agree with GC for the most part about language so I don’t feel like those things are a courtesy.
