Honestly the ones who conjugate their really fucking common pronouns (she/her/hers) irritate me even more than the neopronouns. Like, I would probably actually need a guide on how to conjugate something like fae or em, but goddamn it there is something especially patronizing about a native English speaker telling another native English speaker about the morphology of "she."

Don't be such a cunning linguist.

It's just really pathetic when some verified journalist does it non-ironically in their bio. Talk about preemptively destroying your own credibility. I mean- How am I supposed to take your news posts seriously after you've shown you readily appease gender delusion at the most basic level?

I look at it as “wow thank you for filtering yourself out of my feed, so convenient”

Love this comment.

The subtle propaganda of announcing your pronouns is that it perpetuates the idea that being male or female is an identity and not a material fact about your body. Most people who do that think that they're just "supporting trans people" but what they're actually doing is buying into an ideology that promotes dissociation from the physical reality of sex.

Terrifying how this dissociation is being promoted and encouraged in teens especially. But it's also awful how it is done to adults who may have different mental issues like just even personality disorder like BPD, which typically has identity issues.

I just really don't understand the reasoning behind "normalizing" putting pronouns in your bio to "make people feel safe" or whatever. There's holes in that logic.

So, Ayden, who looks female but says she's a man, won't "feel safe" putting "he/him" in her bio unless everyone else is doing it, too? So she'll constantly be misgendered because she looks like a female but won't tell people she wants to be called a man? And that's a terrible horrible thing that's probably the worst thing that could happen to anyone? Or because putting "he/him" in her bio will out her as trans since she doesn't look like a man at all?

But, if everyone puts their pronouns in their bio, Ayden will feel safe putting "he/him" in her bio because everyone does it, but doesn't that still mean she'd be outed as trans because she doesn't look like a man at all? What if someone's not sure about their pronouns (as though it even matters) and doesn't feel comfortable sharing them? Now they're being forced to be uncomfortable to make other people comfortable.

I just... hear this point repeated all of the time, and anytime anyone tries to explain it, it really doesn't sound like a good point. I know that's par for the course, but maybe someone here can translate for me and explain exactly what difference it makes if everyone's putting their pronouns in their bio.
