I think the idea is that not choosing pronouns is alienating to the people do experience disphoria, like if you were in an IRL group and only the GNC people had to give there pronouns that would be kind of shitty
It also doesn’t help that the discourse brought a few actual transphobes out
Well, it’s good that these folks outed themselves, because the purge never waits.
This is a problem irl because there is a pretty high risk of someone misgendering you but this is an online forum so idk, I do not think it is as important…
It’s moreso about normalizing self-identification within our microcosm. It’s the bare minimum cis comrades should do to ensure it remains a welcoming space for trans and GNC people. It’s gonna be a long fucking time before that’s ever even remotely normalized irl, this is one place we can start.
Here’s an idea: how about if no one had to specify any pronouns? That’s the beauty of online - anonymity. The simplest solutions are often the best ones.
I know what you mean by GNC but I like to imagine you mean people who are very into protein shakes and workout supplements.
I mean that’s actually generally how I like to be referred to, though I guess I meant he/she/they
I didn’t try to jab at you i just understand the situation less and less, in the original post i was told to at least change it to any, i did it, now at least two people said it’s actually bad as well and it seems like something even the trans community hasn’t figured out so i don’t know what to believe.
Coming from a country that uses gender neutral language i’m even more disturbed.
