Discussion on: What's up with the pronouns?

I feel like I am either unable to make my point or am not heard:

I don't see anything wrong with stating your pronouns in such a way. I even agree with the gist of what you are saying:

the point is that inequality is built in to our institutions as fundamental as language and it takes active work to chip away at that for those on the short end of the stick

I am just questioning whether or not this is a good approach as it is certainly not a universal solution. It does not address core issues and it does not solve for anything outside of online communication. BUT, maybe it helps. That's what I am here to find out.

You've got a bunch of folks telling you here that it does indeed.

Indeed. Lot's of feedback. Was hoping for some non binary perspective as well, though.
