I’ve talked about this before. While trans activism as a collective has decided “we” want to be asked about our pronouns, I personally have always found it othering and awkward to the extreme. Not passing priv, either: Pre-passing I preferred people just calling me she. https://twitter.com/ContraPoints/status/1167966462318764033 …
I’d also be happy if “they” was the standard/default pronoun for everyone, including me. I don’t feel more or less comfortable with he, she, or they- but I wouldn’t prefer a world where everyone had to tell others what pronouns to use all the time, even if cis ppl did it.

And, maybe I’m wrong, but I think a lot of people see that as the ideal- everyone including cis ppl asking about/making their pronouns known. If that happens I’ll adjust, but to me that’s worse than the status quo of ppl guessing based on visual cues not better.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
