    I’m a public sector employee, and when shit started going down about pronouns in emails, I added more pronouns to my emails.

    Do not obey in advance, there are more of us than there are of them ❤️‍🩹

    I have a name that can be for boys or girls. For some reason, most people assume it’s a girl’s name and act accordingly.

    When I was a kid, my parents signed me up for basketball. Someone thought it was a mistake for a person with my name to be on the boys team and moved me to the girls team, without telling me or my parents. I will never forget the embarrassment when I showed up to the first practice. I quit on the spot and didn’t play basketball after that.

    I like specifying the pronouns.
