#well anyone Can share their pronouns thats fine thats chill i dont mind

[muirneach]

well since i’ve apparently decided to be angry tonight here’s something that’s bothered me for a while. not sure i love the whole pronouns movement(?) these days. like yes they are important and though i don’t exactly hate being misgendered i can understand why other people do hate it duh. but hmmm the asking people for their pronouns… it’s a little strange in my opinion. it REALLY feels like asking what someones gender is/whats in their pants. like you wouldn’t be asking me this if i was cis presenting! you know i’m trans but you are just woke enough to know you can’t ask me what my gender is. ugh idk where i was going with this but i wouldn’t need pronouns if bitches weren’t talking about me behind my back!

#like girl you’re meeting me once and you’ll probably never think about me again #sorry the first bit makes me sound like a boomer lol sorrryyyy idk how to phrase it #this is not about me getting ‘whats ur pronouns’-ed today ive felt this for a long time but it did reawaken it #<- though the first thing i said was ‘wouldnt you like to know weatherboy’ out of instinct but i was right. wouldnt you like to know #idk ive heard stories from people pre meeical transition to being read as cis and how people stopped asking them #and also stories from like. a gnc-ish retail worker who got asked this by a random customer which is really what i was getting at in #the second half yknow. like it really feels like they just want your gender backstory #it is none of your business! quite frankly i dont care if you read me/refer to me as a woman because my gender identity doesnt hinge on #how cis people view me. they have nothing to do with me #trans #this isnt about trans people sharing their pronouns. we can do that all we like #well anyone Can share their pronouns thats fine thats chill i dont mind #its the expectation that i have to give you mine but Only because you view me as trans (derogatory) #also even if youre like ‘well im sharing mine but you dont have to share yours’ theres still a certian expectation now that you bring it up #and ofc its always either do i out myself or do i closet myself. neither one is preferable #because saying he/him WILL out me because i DO look like a girl #and yes yes i like being trans i like looking trans but i dont like my safety being compromised #anyways. im going to bed
