why put pronouns out there?

in case you read my bio (yeay \o/) and wonder why I ask for pronouns somewhere on your profile (like bio, those bio fields, pinned posts, something I'm missing...), this is your chance to learn:
third person singular pronouns (probably best known but not the only ones are they, it, she or he) are quite commonly gendered in some way, meaning there are different pronouns for people, traditionally depending on rather arbitrary perception.
Now as I mention: this perception is rather arbitrary and its result doesn't work for everyone, so to make sure we don't hurt each other through mistakes in that regard, maybe think about it for however long you need, and when you find a pronoun you'd like others to use when referring to you, tell people, so we can learn how to respect you better :)

now when talking to others also know such a period can take time, they might not have told people yet or have other reasons not to want to tell and that's valid, too. However if the thing others instinctively use for you matches what you want them to, please bear in mind that that's a priviledge not everyone is able to enjoy and you can help them, by normalizing it to put ones pronouns out there.
Hope that explains a thing or two and if you read the whole thing and are still with me, congratulations, well done, figuretly pat yourself on the shoulder from me if you'd like :)
