    I did meet a few people where I couldn’t guess what gender they were, but they introduced themselves along with their pronouns (which was helpful). Sometimes I was in groups where the gender-obvious introduced themselves with their pronouns too though which felt excessive

      I think people do that sometimes in order to make the one trans or androgenous person not feel like “the odd one out” bc they’re the only one who has the give their pronouns.

      So I get why people do it but I agree it can be a bit awkward. I don’t do it myself but I don’t have any problem with people who do.
