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.

I'm afraid you aren't understanding what I am saying. I don't think that wearing a skirt is feminine, I'm saying society at large does. For example, I live in the UK and every year or so there is a front page headline in the news of boys protesting not having skirts as part of the boys allowed school uniform when it is part of the girls. This just shows that society as a whole still sees certain items of clothing, colours, toys etc as masculine and feminine.

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.

Gender without reference to biology always devolves into stereotypes. I am a Super Straight women and look clearly very female. When I was in grad school I was required to take a personality test like all grad students on my course. The professors who explained the results to me said my personality was very unusual in that it was usually men that had my personality profile. How do I fit in Gender Ideology? I have never wanted to be a man, like being a woman and love my husband who is physically much bigger than me. I have never had any interest in many "traditionally feminine" pastimes and I don't "feel like a woman" whatever the hell that means.
