Edit: Don’t just downvote and run away, make your liberalism known. If you have an issue with either of these, please let them be known in the comments. C'mon, let's duke it out. :)

For the libs shouting "but muh anonymity", you should have zero issue using the "any pronoun" tag as you will be addressed with any pronouns regardless of whether or not you have it set. 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.

Folks seem to be using the NSFW tag for the spoiler effect on memes, and while it's a funny use of it, it's causing the intended use of the NSFW tag to lose its value. This isn't r/WatchPeopleDie. Personally, I was exposed to that sort of content at a younger age and am desensitized to it now, but not everyone is like me in that regard and I'm probably more fucked up than I like to think for having been as exposed to it as I was. We currently don't have another way of tagging content, so please be considerate and put "[NSFL]" or content warnings in the title so people know they'll be looking at some heavy shit. Not a lot to ask. Please do not start ironically putting "[NSFL]" or other content warnings in the post title. You're more creative than that, I promise.

      You absolutely matter, friend. I personally like "any" as a catch all because you don't have to explicitly come out and identify yourself if you're not comfortable doing so. 'Any' can just mean you're on your own journey of self-discovery and figuring out where you stand on the issue or it can mean you actually don't give a bother how you're addressed. Nothing dishonest about it. It's a tag that can make people feel more welcome while also giving yourself the space to think about your own identity, y'know? What matters is that you feel comfortable being yourself here. :)

      If you ever want to talk about this more in-depth, my DMs are always open to people questioning or exploring their own gender. The !transenby_liberation comm is also great too. <3
