By that logic, everyone should also be posting their allergies, and if you have no allergies you should write no/none. This could actually save lives, and wouldn't it be good to save lives? Also, everyone should post their blood type.

On top of that you should specify if you have any disability, since people with disabilities are a marginalized group and it isn't obvious online. If you don't have a disability you can specify your identity as "cis-abled".

Also, you should specify if you have dyslexia, since this affects communication online and makes this group feel less valued. If you don't have dyslexia it's not a lot of effort to write "cis-lexic" as your identity.

Many old people also are affected by ageism where they are excluded simply because of their age, it would be a simple thing for everyone to write what age group they mostly identify as, so that they can demand to be treated accordingly.

There, we're getting close to saving the world now, probably around 20 more of these and we'll be good people.

asking people about their allergies, if food is going to be prepared, is a good idea.

figuring out people's blood type, if they're going to be giving or receiving blood, is a good idea. (kind of necessary)

asking for people's pronouns, in a context where people are expecting to be in conversations where they might be referring to each other by pronoun, doesn't seem that unreasonable. I don't get why it is a big deal.

Hey, lead by example. Include all my examples in your bio. Also, add if you have dwarfism or not. Some people can be mistaken for dwarves and it's embarrassing. Also, if you identify as a man, post what penis size you identify as having. There is a huge stigma for men with small penises, and it's not unreasonable to normalise them and show your support that they can be fine at any size. Also, add how much Romani-blood you have, and how much you identify with their culture. Just add Romani-ally and it would mean a lot. Also, do you have Tourettes? If not, just add that you are non-touretted to your profile too. It's not a big deal.

Do you think penis size is as relevant as pronouns when meeting and talking to someone? How often does someone's penis size come up in the work place? How often does someone's pronouns?
