        Better to just say "their pronouns" rather than "preferred"?Tried googling but got a ton of shit about ppl not respecting pronouns at all😕

        Yep. Just pronouns. Basically, aim towards treating trans people as any other people.

        "Preferred" implies "unpreferred" pronouns are acceptable.

        When you hear people casually making jokes, or mis-gendering someone, correct them, or educate them.

        "bathroom of choice" makes it sound like we're asking for extra rights and is rarely used in mainstream trans journalism in enby contexts.

        (enby too) imo it's more a matter of "to pee where they feel more comfortable" which can be =/= to "right spot", but yeah.

        Honestly as a fellow trans person I'd rather go the other way. Try and mainstream the fact that cis people ALSO identify as their genders

        Is because they read "gender is performative" and thing "trans people are fake" as opposed to "I perform gender as much as anyone else"

        Same with pronouns. If I referred to a cis man with she/her consistently it would likely bother him because those are not his preferred

        Pronouns. The associations that she/her pronouns carry do not fit with a cis man's gender identity of "male".
