That thing with the pronouns

I have a basket full of pronoun pins with all different pronouns on them and someday when I'm feeling feisty I'm just going to put them all over my battle jacket to fuck with people.

I really, really wish we had just come up with a polite way to ask 'what gender are you' rather than how pronoun usage has become a stupid proxy for it in the stupid reality we live in. My pronouns are really, really not something I want to fuss with unless we're discussing editing actual copy, when I may have strong opinions but they're not going to be consistent over everything, so you'd better fucking ask. Otherwise, just leave me alone!
