There’s definitely some additional nuance (like a pronouns in bio/username situation) but this should cover the broad needs of anyone who is approaching this with good faith.

There’s a lot of transphobes that use they/them to not acknowledge the pronouns of trans people, but also to skirt around anti-misgendering rules of social media. I call it “passive-aggressive misgendering”.
What if I don’t give a shit about you and your pronouns not because of you being T but simply because you’re a stranger? Is it transphobic?
Tbh the expectation that everyone should care about you enough to learn your pronouns is baffling to me.
Do you feel the same about names?
Based If yes. If no, cringe.
Do you know the names of everyone you interact with? Every grocer, barman, stranger?
Definitely :( and it’s a super hurtful thing.
But! of course! that only happens when the offending person knows the pronouns and uses they/them anyway (right side of the flowchart). I see you are already getting downvotes from people who are so riled up they assumed for ya you meant both cases. Ugh.
Thanks for being normal ❤️
