If only trans and gnc people do it, we're outing ourselves. If we don't, we accept getting misgendered. And when cis people do it, it acclimates other cis people to the practice and makes it safer for trans and gnc people.

You being a good person, charitable, witty and interesting is far more interesting than what imaginary social classification we've bucketed ourselves into.
Hello fellow entity, I come in peace.

People want to be addressed a certain way, I'll happily accommodate them to their hearts delight. Want trans rights, or any human rights, I'll support, vote, and advocate it.

Want to add a redundant pronoun to an intro, the majority of the population doesn't need, no thanks. And the outing isn't a compelling argument. If you get misgendered, the correct pronoun is going to out you, if you don't, you don't need the pronoun.

Perhaps there should be a Claudas too.

but then i thought that other people have to add their pronouns if they want people to use the correct ones for them, while i have the privilege of being able to omit them and others still using my preferred pronouns.

finally, i wondered if including pronouns would ruffle any feathers and decided if so, those are feathers that need to be ruffled because human rights and inclusivity do not upset people with their head on straight.

It's like every human saying that they're a human. Imagine if you introduced yourself as Hi, I'm [name], [he/she/it], a human. If someone mistook me as a girl I'd correct them and move on, the beard makes it hard tho.

At work we all put pronouns in our profiles, and that's perfect, removes any doubt, especially in online meetings.

People may signal their opinions in different ways. I personally think that trans rights are very obviously human rights. Yet I do not think that I have to start giving a fuck about people‘s genders in order to not be part of the revolting group who does so in a revolting way.

That's ok. But a lot of people do care about this stuff, and not in a good way.
I wouldn't want to discourage others from doing this, but it should be a choice, of course

I am perfectly fine with referring to you using whichever pronouns you prefer. This is a consequence of me finding gender utterly irrelevant while still respecting your choice of seeing that differently.

I draw the line when somebody expects me to care about this in any way. I don‘t. I will not introduce myself pretending that I care about that stuff.
