Why is it that I'm so fatigued by this topic? I'm inclusive, empathetic, and non-conservative (I don't mean conservative as a political term but that too). how is it that these labels/pronouns have become something so important in the world where there are so many other more pressing issues. I identify as a whole bunch of things (gender, hobbies, faith or absence of it, my current home and my immigrant roots ,my family, etc) and don't expect to be able to reflect them in a single line. Sometimes people don't get my identity right - and that's okay. I don't expect everyone to get to know me from a field in the bio on some social media platform. Like I said, I'm fatigued by this topic. If it's important for some people to announce their pronouns to the world - I guess fine but this whole topic has been overhyped.
