    When someone calls you the wrong pronoun, you're being misgendered. how could he or she not be a gender statement?

      When someone uses the wrong pronouns, it's using the wrong pronouns, misgendering is a thing they're doing while they use the wrong pronouns. If I didn't know your pronouns were he/him and I called you "they" I would be using incorrect pronouns to refer to you, but I wouldn't be misgendering you.

        Because pronouns are an aspect of gender identity and expression

        I mean yeah isn't that what I said? I don't like everybody and myself having a gender statement stamped on every post. He/him doesn't necessarily shout "I'm a man" because dogs and cats can also be he/him. But it is a statement on my gender appended to every post I make, which feels like I'm shouting "YO MAN HERE" to my chapo friends.

        edit: but I'm not trying to increase the quotient of antagonism on the site so I'll keep it until we collectively forget about it.
