Edit: Don’t just downvote and run away, make your liberalism known. If you have an issue with either of these, please let them be known in the comments. C'mon, let's duke it out. :)
For the libs shouting "but muh anonymity", you should have zero issue using the "any pronoun" tag as you will be addressed with any pronouns regardless of whether or not you have it set. The point of having them sitewide is for everyone to use them to normalize explicitly stating one's pronouns as a means of not forcing trans people to request to be addressed with basic respect. The amount of pushback on a meaningful step toward trans inclusivity in this community is pretty fucking disheartening, not gonna lie.
Folks seem to be using the NSFW tag for the spoiler effect on memes, and while it's a funny use of it, it's causing the intended use of the NSFW tag to lose its value. This isn't r/WatchPeopleDie. Personally, I was exposed to that sort of content at a younger age and am desensitized to it now, but not everyone is like me in that regard and I'm probably more fucked up than I like to think for having been as exposed to it as I was. We currently don't have another way of tagging content, so please be considerate and put "[NSFL]" or content warnings in the title so people know they'll be looking at some heavy shit. Not a lot to ask. Please do not start ironically putting "[NSFL]" or other content warnings in the post title. You're more creative than that, I promise.
A podcast I listen to with 3 hosts, one trans and two cis, does this. The only need there is for one to correctly state their gender. If she didn't, there would be constant misgendering. If she did alone, there would be constant transphobia for being the only person making an issue of it. Instead they use this system and it's a nice show of solidarity which creates a trans-positive atmosphere for any guests and listeners rather than an empty performative gesture. If I'm against it because I'm cishet and there isn't any trauma attached to people misgendering me, that's just being a dumbass liberal who can't see past themselves.

"Well there's your problem"? I stan that podcast.
They're good and not bad.
They still deal with transphobia too but it is often shifts the aimed at the whole show "YOU SAID PRONOUNS WHYYYY instead of just Alice being targeted.
Their audience is split between people who understand its ideological leanings and people who want disaster porn. I'm not sure if it's more by virtue of being a STEM podcast or by virtue of youtube being liberal even on its lefty side, but that's a deradicalisation project more than it is starting from a neutral place and and making it better. In the absence of normalisation it's left being abnormal and a lot of people react to abnormal things with default hostility if only through ignorance.
Yeah I was saying how all of them saying pronouns just protects Alice a little bit.
Another one of my friends was telling me about this podcast not that long ago! Really inspirational stuff! 😍
Well There's Your Problem has a lot of potential. They still haven't nailed the right pace or balanced their personalities enough but it's one of the most interesting podcasts in my line-up and a good example of creating an inclusive space.
Also the guy had his own channel before, do not eat, his shit is great.
this is simple but very well explained and elucidating
