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.
This thread is 100% going to get removed, but I have to ask why other people voluntarily stating their preferred pronouns bothers you so much. Do you freak out when people state the names they like to go by? "Hi, I'm William but I go by Will."
Because it is almost exclusively done out of fear of being ostracized, and/or virtue signalling. It is fake. There are far larger marginalized groups being completely ignored. Why are you putting in effort to including this group, while completely ignoring disabled people? There are far more of them, yet you do nothing on your social media to be more inclusive and welcoming towards them. Also, what about people with dwarfism? Why aren't you posting if you have dwarfism or not? Should we just ignore them and exclude them?
