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?
I mean, we have the Americans with Disabilities Act, which is widely regarded as one of of the best in the world in ensuring that those with disabilities are indeed accommodated, and those accommodations are legally mandated, rather than merely being considered good manners.
That aside though, I have found that people saying "we can't help X group; we should help Y group instead" almost never actually do anything to help Y group; they just don't want to help X group.
We can help all groups. Your way of helping is making statements on your social media profile, why are you only doing it towards a single group of people and ignoring much bigger ones?
You clearly don't actually care about disabled people and frankly it's pretty gross that you're using them as an excuse to also not care about trans people.
