Also like. If ur cis please don’t go around asking people their pronouns. I know it sounds like the opposite of what u would expect but I was getting food the other day and this lady around my age who is always there when I am asked my pronouns and it was both jarring and scary. I was like “. Oh . Haha so I guess you can tell I’m a transexual” and she kinda got awkward and said “no ah I ask that to everyone” bullllshit. My bearded roommate came up to order next and she didn’t ask him she just said sir and went on her way as if to prove my point. It’s fucking humiliating being outed like that and I feel like a joke telling people my pronouns also it means that I am visibly not cis and all my work is for naught and I’m constantly on edge because of shit like this
“what are your pronouns” is essentially just “are you a boy or a girl” if you’re Woke
I have professors who think doing this makes them progressive and allies but all it does is make me feel like a coward for not wanting to be out in that environment.
I’m not out at all in my professional life, and when I’m asked that question, or that’s even hinted at, it’s so damn unpleasant.
