This is why I always debate on any given new place if I should list my preferred/assigned pronouns (because they're all assigned originally, though the debates over the semantics of that are challenging), or not do so as way of showing that they shouldn't matter anyway. As in they shouldn't be requested by some random site or piece of paperwork, not that they don't matter to people for themselves.

It doesn't help that while I am cishet male, I don't actually care what pronouns get used for me. I had long hair in the south in the eighties; I got over being called a girl a looong time ago because I reject the fucking misogyny inherent in people trying to weaponize it, and I managed to divorce myself of that same misogyny in my own perceptions of masculinity. Like, I'm genuinely fine with any pronoun, and I'm mostly on the side of working to just get rid of them entirely.

The mostly is because on a personal scale I don't have the energy for that specific fight when there's so many other ones that are dire.

So I end up just leaving such things blank when possible, they/them when I can't select multiple as a point of effort at making the idea present.

Dang. Memes be all relevant and thought provoking up in this piece!
