shamelessly_mkp(cis)life hack: announce your pronouns when introducing yourself and make
the world a slightly more welcoming place
hashtag i don’t think i have the spoons to try to do it all the time, but
maybe at least at kink & queer events? i have such a hard time talking to
strangers as is ugh
but it occurred to me that this would be a really good way of proactively
fighting cissexism without the concern of accidentally upsetting people by
asking them what their pronouns are
because as much as I would understand it and be all for it intellectually
I’d probably be kind of upset if someone asked me for my pronouns
as would most people, I think, if they feel like they’re presenting as a
specific gender and then suddenly have that questioned
so this way you volunteer the info yourself! and other people are more
likely to follow suit!
hopefully.
except I probably won’t follow through on this, because I suck like that. :(
