(I should also mention that as "luck" would have it, I actually watched a bit of this live stream when it was originally on, and found a lot of the content to be distasteful, but I didn't mention it. I am happy to see I'm not the only one who had a very negative reaction.)

It’s so backwards

Indeed. The whole idea is that race is meaningless. It's like eye color, height or any other gene related incidental.

I don't think sharing your pronouns is that big a deal, but the race thing is pretty strange.

Dunno, introduction-with-pronouns feels cringe to me (and I'm a left-winger). I get it that we should help improve the lives of trans people, but it feels weird to me to open a conversation with basically a statement of political goals.

Man this is so surreal, I still can't believe I live in this dumb world. Let everybody choose their own names to update their IDs, it is all tied up in several databases anyways so it can be done minimizing fraud attempts.

My only guess is it could possibly be for blind people? But even then it's pretty cringe.

A) I listen to things all the time and don't know the race of the person. I have never found that to be an impediment. B) Even if it was, the racist concerns to me vastly outweigh any benefit someone listening to the program gets from knowing the person's (irrelevant) skin color.
