I've never been against announcing your pronouns, I've just never seen it as necessary...until last night.
Before, I would always give my pronouns (she/her) if asked. If a policy asked me to add them to emails or titles I did. Outside of that, I just assumed that if people wanted to know my pronouns, they'd (1) ask, or (2) I'd correct them when wrong.
However, last night, while in Resonite, my voice changer wasn't working so I had my deeper voice, attached to this female avatar, and...I got a lot of they/them. And it sat oddly with me.
I mean, if someone misgenders me as male, I immediately correct them. This time...they were TRYING not to assume, but still got it wrong. And They/Them just sat wrong with me.
So I'm on board with announcing those pronouns now. Trying to find a way to add them to my nameplate in Resonite (and elsewhere). :)
@Frances_Larina - Heading to Texas (BOO) to see the eclipse (YAY) with Family and Friends.

Every week it seems like there's another huge data breach, and the company involved goes "Our bad, lol“ and suffers no real consequences.
We need to start imposing strict penalties and fines on these bastard companies. Maybe then they'll start taking their fucking security seriously.
If you insist on holding customers data and it gets compromised, you get smacked. Hard.
It's amazing reading all these nytimes and other articles saying "Why are so many kids absent from school nowadays? Must be a new culture of laziness. Probably lockdowns. Or phones. We definitely didn't give a generation Long Covid, because that's not something we're permitted to discuss." #CovidIsNotOver #LongCOVID #WearAMask #uspolitics #nytimes
That's great and all, but, you know, WE COULD USE A LITTLE HELP RIGHT NOW.

Trans Day of Visibility is on the same day every year.
Easter moves around. There's ancient rules, going back, like, almost a thousand years, describing how exactly it moves.
