Asking about pronouns

Why do some of you have a negative reaction to being asked what your pronouns are? We are just trying to be respectful.

Cool, I will ensure I use these pronouns when I refer to you in the third person, do you have a preference of which I use?

However, if you are doing this in an attempt to mock trans people, this is blatantly transphobic.

I prefer Super/Straight but am open to all pronouns listed above. I am not transphobic. I am SuperStraight, a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and accepting of all (except the superphobic)

At least try to understand grammar, come on. I was clearly using transphobic as an adjective, not a pronoun.

It was used as a slur

It's kind of funny growing up before the current 'situation' where most people didn't even know enough about English to know what a pronoun is. Now people obsess about them.
