    I haven't really been in a large social space since I started transitioning and this honestly terrifies the fuck out of me. It's a surefire way that I've been clocked and it would make me feel dysphoric. I mean, sure, I'd prefer to be gendered properly, but I wish that it would just happen naturally.

      I think it's important to establish pronouns as parts of personal introduction, especially since I am demi-gender, but I really resent "progressives" making a show about it in a way that shows they are not sincere and just want to show off.

      Most groups I am in do it by habit now, thankfully, but once I was meeting a group with my partner and a familiar person from the other group went "we should do a pronoun circle" in the middle of the street while we were both presenting very femme and that person never usually does that. Something similar happened a bunch of times.

        If it happens like right at the start, perfect, but I remember it happening a bit before I even cracked my egg and it would just come out of nowhere mid conversation most, if not all, of the time. That’s when it terrifies me.
