if you put your pronouns after your signature in emails you are pretty much dooming them to the part of my brain that remembers what I committed to do thirty seconds ago (hopeless) and not the part that stores Middle Earth lore (reliable)

if you can work your pronouns into an iambic tetrameter poem about fictional primeval mountains that might be more effective

I sometimes have to think hard about spouse name I get it from my mom, who once went through my brother's name and 3 family pets before hitting on mine

Seems like an online concern. The trans/whatever people I know in real life generally don't give a shit so long as you're trying and aren't being a dick about it.

Neopronouns are despicable. If someone wants to be a 'he', 'she', or 'they', great, I have a chunk of brain specifically for parsing standard pronouns. I do not have a chunk of brain capable of parsing 'xie/xem/xyr' on the fly, and I'm not capable of growing one at my age.

You want a special word specifically for addressing you, that's your name. And I won't remember that, either. I don't indulge neopronouns any more than I indulge obscure titles of nobility. And they're the *same god-damned thing*. It's crypto-classism.
