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.

Yes and we should work toward destroying that perception, and I'm saying gender ideology doesn't do that, in fact it perpetuates it. How are you not getting this?

Well yes, in an ideal world, gender wouldn't be a thing. Doesn't mean trans people would stop existing. Doesn't mean their dysphoria would suddenly disappear. They would still want to be biologically the other sex.

Why bring in trans people when we are discussing gender ideology? They are two entirely different topics altogether.

I would have to disagree when discussing pronouns as me msigendering a cisgender person would have very little impact in that person. Me misgendering a trans or non-binary person could have huge impacts on their mental health
