Very well presented, thank you. I’m curious as to your take on worries that normalizing pronoun sharing puts pressure on vulnerable trans people who don’t wish to share.

It’s one thing to explicitly pressure someone to share pronouns. We can all agree that’s a bad idea. But where does implicit pressure begin?

If I lead a discussion group and share my pronouns, as I have done, and if some members of the group enthusiastically follow my lead, have I inadvertently created peer pressure that some trans people will find unwelcome and intrusive?

I’m not suggesting I know the answer to the question, by the way, but I am increasingly seeing it raised — enough that I have become more cautious.

I’d be very interested in what your greater experience has led you to think about the question.
