I find it insulting. You can tell by looking at me and by my name that I am a woman. If someone is transgender it is up to them to let people know they are transitioning and to use the correct pronouns, no one should be forced to be compelled into pretending that being trans ids something normal and common.

Do you mean you find it insulting for someone to ask your pronouns? If so, I agree, for most of us it’s really obvious. I guess preferred pronouns do normalize trans identities and that isn’t something we should want necessarily.

yes I would. I might not be the most feminine woman around, but if you where to say hey questioningtw are you or a he or she? I would be pretty damn offended. I would feel different if it where an accidental misgendering, then I wouldn't care.
