Other than being a mild irritation reading about it online not really. It just seems so narcissistic to have a whole day dedicated to how to correctly address a special group of people (and the same group of people claims to be the most oppressed people in the world). I'm kind of glad to live in a small town where the whole custom pronouns thing hasn't taken off. We have so many actual problems as a society right now. It's so frivolous to be wasting energy on this.

Same here. And not only narcissistic, but it's also an imposition on people who don't want to be forced to give pronouns in public, including closeted trans people.

The organizers of this event encourage people to ask the pronouns of others, which means putting gender critical, religious, GNC, and closeted people in a bad position.
