I’ve never actually heard or seen someone honor such a request online or IRL, and it would sound ridiculously stilted if they did. Where is Rumpelstiltskin’s coat? Rumpelstiltskin must have left it at the bar. Will someone please text Rumpelstiltskin and let Rumpelstiltskin know?
a lot of people are undecided on pronouns or dont want to be identified as one gender or the other for security reasons. i figure some agender people might be interested in the idea too.
some trans people also dont like the idea of being pressured to state pronouns.
the main goal of having mandatory pronouns listed to each name on hexbear is so that trans people arent singled out as the only people with listed pronouns, making it harder for transphobes to target individual people. in the larger fediverse it also makes it obvious that we’re all trans accepting commies which definitely makes people angry, and it is very funny.
I misread this and was like “what the heck are state pronouns??”
When the revolution comes, the state will enforce pronoun use and it will be beautiful.
The more pronouns you have, the cooler you are. Sorry, I don’t make the rules
