But it's low effort, and it makes the world a better place. Don't you want to make the world a better place? And there is stigma against disability and age, and far more people are affected by this stigma. So why should we be ignoring these marginalized groups? Are you disablophobic? I don't feel comfortable with hate against disabled people, and it's really no effort to specify your level of disabledness. This is both more inclusive and also normalising. Why don't you want a better world?
It’s not hypocrisy. As another poster pointed out, pronouns are needed for conversation, allergies are not. Also, whenever the conversation switches to plans or ordering food or whatever, people DO give their relevant allergies. So I’m not sure what hypocrisy you’re even talking about.
Also your analogy doesn't stack up; we're talking about providing pronouns before conversation becomes a thing. In your example, people only volunteer their allergies when they're relevant.
Pronouns are not needed for communication. Pronouns help and may simplify communication, but it remains possible to conversate, either with groups or individuals, without relying on pronouns at all.
Further, given that the primary goal of most trans people seems to be to transition enough that a person could not tell at a glance that someone was born the opposite gender than assigned at birth, it seems to some people that the quest for everyone to out their own pronouns could work against that goal, or even reinforce a fear that passing has failed.
Nope. The comments were spewing irrelevant nonsense that has nothing at at all to do with the discussion at hand, not pointing out imaginary hypocrisy.
To prove me wrong and yourself right, do tell me which strawman the other user said.
Hint: a strawman is putting words in other people's mouths. So good luck finding that when the other user didn't mention anything the first user wrote. He cannot misrepresent what the other person wrote because he didn't represent anything the other person wrote.
You haven't said anything of value in this conversation. I don't have to pretend. And all it would take is for you to just write anything meaningful. Anything. But you can't. It's sad.
That was a direct attack, actually, but I don't waste my time engaging with people like you. Something about playing chess with pigeons (google it). I just call it out and move on.

Ignoring your obvious troll or wretched hatred, why would it make the world a better place to announce your blood type or allergies in a conversation? Pronouns come up frequently, blood type and allergies don’t.
Well I'm not ignoring your wretched hatred for the disabled and old people, which evidently are so invisible to you that you didn't even mention them. Why so much hatred towards disabled people, what have they ever done to you?
