I think the idea is that not choosing pronouns is alienating to the people do experience disphoria, like if you were in an IRL group and only the GNC people had to give there pronouns that would be kind of shitty
Here's an idea: how about if no one had to specify any pronouns? That's the beauty of online - anonymity. The simplest solutions are often the best ones.
This is a problem irl because there is a pretty high risk of someone misgendering you but this is an online forum so idk, I do not think it is as important...
It's moreso about normalizing self-identification within our microcosm. It's the bare minimum cis comrades should do to ensure it remains a welcoming space for trans and GNC people. It's gonna be a long fucking time before that's ever even remotely normalized irl, this is one place we can start.
Honestly I don't think this will be a big problem any more if we get to the point where people would normalise it irl. Like, if the world ever became so accepting I think it wouldn't be such a problem any more.
I didn't try to jab at you i just understand the situation less and less, in the original post i was told to at least change it to any, i did it, now at least two people said it's actually bad as well and it seems like something even the trans community hasn't figured out so i don't know what to believe.
Coming from a country that uses gender neutral language i'm even more disturbed.
It's all good, I've stopped reading stuff related to this other than direct replies to my comment so idk what other people are saying but imo choosing something is good enough.

It also doesn't help that the discourse brought a few actual transphobes out
Well, it's good that these folks outed themselves, because the purge never waits.

that's not really how disphoria works for a lot of people tho
I don't understand what you're getting at?
Well like even on an anonymous forum you still need to use some sort of pronoun eventually, not everyone wants to be called they
They is an acceptable universal term to address people you're not dealing with face to face.
Besides, I still don't get what posting on an anonymous forum under a fake name does to alleviate disphoria?

Then she can set her pronoun without also attacking anyone who doesn't.
Pretty nifty that.

well that sure sounds like a real struggle
leftist orgs need to learn to tell the antisocial 5% who won't shut the fuck up "No. This is not for you."

I know what you mean by GNC but I like to imagine you mean people who are very into protein shakes and workout supplements.
Gender: himbo
:gun-felix:
YES THANK YOU FINALLY
And choosing "any" as pronouns isn't?
I mean that's actually generally how I like to be referred to, though I guess I meant he/she/they
