What drives me crazier than that is seeing TRAs harass others about adding their pronouns to their profile. Several artists I follow on Twitter get hounded by people telling them they need to add their pronouns to their profile every time they post. They say it's to "show support and normalize it". Can we normalize leaving people the heck alone and not harassing others under the guise of "support"? Because they're acting like it's a cult and they need you to comply or you'll be canceled.

I wouldn't want to post my pronouns (aside from not buying into that) just for the fact that I've had enough harassment from gross men online. I'm not going to make myself more of a target for that than I have to.

I agree - why harass people about something that affects less than 1% of the population? In 99+% of cases, it's obvious what a person's pronouns are.
