Reminder that although it can help some people to have pronouns in your profile, pressuring people to put pronouns in their profile can forcibly out people or lead to misgendering (eg I am non-binary, but my pronouns are she/her/hers and this can make people gender me as a woman because they make binarist assumptions about language).

It's nice if allies put pronouns in their bio, but it should never be forced. You don't know who is cis, trans, or nb or why they don't want to share pronouns.

@RubyJones

If someone asks me to use feminine determiners and pronouns with them, I assume they are a woman, yes. That is what those words mean. If you feel non-binary, why don't you ask for non-binary grammar?

@tripu they're not feminine fucking pronouns. That is your projection of gender onto random sounds. Please get your bigotry out of my notifications!

@RubyJones @tripu
Thankfully everyone projects exactly the meaning you want onto all the other words you write, otherwise communicating with you would really be a mess! 😉👍 Let me know if you project my meaning correctly!

Usually on Saturdays or Sundays, except when it's rainy. But you are right about doughnuts having too much icing sugar nowadays.
