I don't have my pronouns in my bio because pronouns are, at most, tangential to my gender identity. I've thought about adding them. I'm thinking about it now (hence the tweeting).
If I put pronouns in my bio, I'd be doing it for an identical reason to why cis people do: I don't care that much, and it shows support and allyship. But, that reason is complicated bc... I'm trans. I'm the one who's supposed to be feeling supported and allied with.
I don't feel any personal connection to the importance and centrality of pronouns in the trans rights discourse. I feel, well, alienated by it. (Very mildly alienated, I hasten to add.)
I don't feel I *am* my pronouns (or my name, for that matter). I do feel I *am* my hormone balance and the perception others have of me. (This is as far as transness goes, of course. I am other things, but as a man or a trans man I am these things.)
I don't want to inflict this on others- YOU don't have to construct your identity through hormones and people's perceptions to be valid in my eyes. But, to myself, I fully became a man when I began passing. Til then I was not quite woman, not quite man, wanting to be man.
In summation- perhaps I should put pronouns in my bio. I'd like to show solidarity, and it's very awkward when trans people on here assume I'm cis. But once I've again failed to convince myself to pull the trigger. If you feel I should, tell me! Maybe I'll change my mind.
I've elected against doing so if only because the mockery I get from that is too much to be worth the hassle. Also, I get a good kick out of people playing idpol with pronouns.
