So, on pronouns.
So, on pronouns.
I have a few questions on how to best behave to be as welcoming and inclusive as possible without sounding bad. I hope you guys don't hate me.
I'm just a straight male. Are my pronouns he/him? Is that how I should tell people? Do you actually tell them as you meet them ? Do I have to wait for a certain social cue ?
How about online. Should I tell people or have it on my personal profile somewhere?
And about respecting other people's pronouns. How do i figure them out ? Is it a big faux pas if I don't before I know them ? Is it a faux pas if I refer to someone I just met and I assumed to be male as he/him?
I've never seen anyone referring to anyone irl by non conventional pronouns. Is it an actual thing or is it currently being pushed to make the world a more inclusive place?
I'd love some help with all of this.

Outside the internet no-one really cares. Inside the Internet only certain bubbles care.
And one of the best parts of online discussions is that they are not biased by how you look, just what you write :)
I don't know if it would be any better rating myself based on looks instead of my writing :D
But yes, that's a great thing. Everyone in the Internet is just an entity addressed by the nickname. There is no need for gender or pronouns.
