Exactly, keep standing up for yourself! Unless you're actually dysphoric/trans I don't see why everyone else should be putting down pronouns when they're not even dysphoric or trans...? Seriously like what are you even trying to normalize?? It's already assumed that if you're a woman you'll use she/her pronounces and vice versa and if people get it wrong, you just correct them. It's just pandering to the TRAs at this point. Also aren't people who aren't dysphoric putting down pronouns like "they/them, ze/zir" etc just making things more difficult for everyone else including people who are trans? Who even has time to remember all this?? No one!

And I bet it is exacerbating the issue for dysphoric people in the long run to encourage them and everyone around them to obsessively focus on the thing that is causing them so much pain. It would be so much healthier to focus on things that make them feel fulfilled and whole instead of the things that don't.
