My goodness, did the sky start to fall and I didn't notice? Using affirming pronouns for transgender people is simple kindness. It's only relatively recently that many trans people felt comfortable being open about their gender identity. Those of us who affirm and support them want to be kind.

Nobody is ever going to try to make you put pronouns in your social media profile or your email footer or anywhere else. Other people announcing preferred pronouns in order to be supportive do not affect you, other than the fraction of a second it takes you to scan past pronoun information.

I've been doing LGBTQ advocacy for most of my adult life in one way or another. Yet you won't find my pronouns in my social media profiles or in my email footers. I have a carefully thought-out reason for that, though that reason is not parallel to your argument.

But here's a critical point: Nobody, not one person, has ever criticized me for not including those pronouns. And I run in the most progressive circles imaginable.

Dude, you're making a mountain out of a molehill. You're acting like you're suffering because voluntary social customs are getting slightly adjusted out of kindness.

You'll be fine. Because none of this has anything to do with you.

Which is something you should perhaps think about.
