Should I add my pronouns (he/him) in my bio?

I don't really feel it's necessary because I'm a cis male and nobody ever misgendered me (that's a privilege!)

@Siphonay True, but it's a triviality for a cis male (me too) and helps normalize the practice so people don''t react weirdly and harrass a trans/enby person when they see it for the first time. Plus, there are a lot of people who identify as one gender and mainly present as another, so it's a courtesy that avoids the hassle of accidentally misgendering someone and having them have to explain. Noone's forcing you, but consider how it can help others!

@Siphonay @Gargoylezoo im sorta nonbinary, but i was born in 1956, as result brain was coded by deep binary logic

@theresatagonmyshirt @Siphonay Yeah, it's unfortunate that it's only in the last decade or so that those rigid gender norms have started breaking down. But it's never too late to be true to yourself! I just saw a video of a transgender woman who transitioned at 90-something.
