trying to avoid the 💿 🐴, but a question of masto etiquette -
so pronouns listed in profile good, but should i remove mention of being cishet from my profile as well?
i know the idea of listing pronouns is to normalize that/make it easier on trans people, and listing my being cishet may be at cross-purposes with that. but i feel it's also kind of important to note so that i don't come across as like... a bullshit party crasher. i want to make sure i'm properly labelled so people can avoid me.
@wigglytuffitout hm... good question, pretty sure masto hasn't grown any etiquette around that yet
I'd say that putting that you're cis in your bio isn't in any way shape or form necessary but there's also no reason at all that you shouldn't put it in there
So go by your personal preference on if you want it there or not
@wigglytuffitout the whole meaning of normalizing it is for people who aren't trans to do it so it is seen just as a thing rather than a trans thing
@InspectorCaracal yeah, but i also see how if i listed "she/her I'M CISHET" as my pronouns like, it would end up just doing fuckin nuffin. so i chucked token cishet joke in one spot and listed my pronouns on like... the listy part? and i'm hoping that's an okay compromise but i'm also not sure and now fretting needlessly, which i am also good at
@wigglytuffitout I don't see how it would do nothing
@wigglytuffitout I think what you have is fine, anyway!
@wigglytuffitout ...OH. DISC HORSE. I get it!
what should i be doing here basically? i'm trying to not step on toes either way, because inviting myself into spaces where i am not invited is boorish, but also pressuring people to out themselves is boorish.
is there a community standard i should be looking to here, or a like commonly done thing practice?
i know i'm probably overthinking this at this point, but overthinking is something i'm quite good at lol
