The point of having them sitewide is for everyone to use them to normalize explicitly stating one’s pronouns as a means of not forcing trans people to request to be addressed with basic respect. The amount of pushback on a meaningful step toward trans inclusivity in this community is pretty fucking disheartening, not gonna lie.
A podcast I listen to with 3 hosts, one trans and two cis, does this. The only need there is for one to correctly state their gender. If she didn't, there would be constant misgendering. If she did alone, there would be constant transphobia for being the only person making an issue of it. Instead they use this system and it's a nice show of solidarity which creates a trans-positive atmosphere for any guests and listeners rather than an empty performative gesture. If I'm against it because I'm cishet and there isn't any trauma attached to people misgendering me, that's just being a dumbass liberal who can't see past themselves.
They still deal with transphobia too but it is often shifts the aimed at the whole show "YOU SAID PRONOUNS WHYYYY instead of just Alice being targeted.
Their audience is split between people who understand its ideological leanings and people who want disaster porn. I'm not sure if it's more by virtue of being a STEM podcast or by virtue of youtube being liberal even on its lefty side, but that's a deradicalisation project more than it is starting from a neutral place and and making it better. In the absence of normalisation it's left being abnormal and a lot of people react to abnormal things with default hostility if only through ignorance.
Well There's Your Problem has a lot of potential. They still haven't nailed the right pace or balanced their personalities enough but it's one of the most interesting podcasts in my line-up and a good example of creating an inclusive space.

Yeah I was saying how all of them saying pronouns just protects Alice a little bit.
