The first real popular/reblogged post I made on this site was in regards to what pronouns I’ll refer to you as. (tl;dr, either strictly male, strictly female, or a generic gender neutral).

Lately I’ve caught a number of blogs by people who identify as cis, and even more so cis hetero, who make sure to regard in advance what pronouns they prefer to go by. Is Tumblr really that obsessed with pronouns that you have to state in advance what is otherwise the obvious?

Look, if you’re a cis male, you don’t need to tell us your pronouns are he/him - we fucking know already. You’re not somehow progressive by putting that needless set of information out there. Let people with true gender dysphoria, which I’m convinced most of you idiots on Tumblr don’t actually suffer from, assert the pronouns they want to be identified as.
