Because pronouns are an aspect of gender identity and expression

I mean yeah isn't that what I said? I don't like everybody and myself having a gender statement stamped on every post. He/him doesn't necessarily shout "I'm a man" because dogs and cats can also be he/him. But it is a statement on my gender appended to every post I make, which feels like I'm shouting "YO MAN HERE" to my chapo friends.

edit: but I'm not trying to increase the quotient of antagonism on the site so I'll keep it until we collectively forget about it.
