Why do people who aren't trans feel the need to put pronouns next to their name or picture? It seems so cringeworthy to me, to participate in that SJW paradigm of thought, like they are a spineless person who just goes along with the trends.

Why do people who aren't trans feel the need to put pronouns next to their name or picture? It seems so cringeworthy to me, to participate in that SJW paradigm of thought, like they are a spineless person who just goes along with the trends.

Initially, I read this question, thought to myself “What kind of person asks a question like this?” Then I looked at your profile, particularly your posts in the space It’s OK to be White, wherein you talk about “the radical left” and “white advocates who’ve been unlawfully deplatformed.” I also looked at several of your questions and answers, which - to sum up - appear to consist of “Trump didn’t do anything wrong and you’re all meanie pooh-heads for going after him.

Three examples just off the top of my head for you to think about:

Jean; this is a woman’s name in English; it’s a man’s name in French.

Alex can be short for Alexander or Alexandra (also Alexis).

Fred is short for both Frederic and Frederica.

Try looking at the world through a larger window than your own narrow-minded bigotry.

So, ignoring your entirely irrelevant opinion - because nobody cares if you think it’s cringeworthy or spineless - and to address the actual question, to whit: “Why do people who aren’t trans feel the need to put their pronouns next to their name or picture?” I will mention just one reason among many to do so: namely, that there are quite a few names in common use that can be used by both men and women.

Hi, Kevin Grem.

However, since I’m in a mellow mood today, allow me to educate you in how to ask a question without sounding like a festering wankstain. The problem with your question as phrased is that it should’ve stopped at the question mark. The rest is simply your ignorant and uninformed opinion.
