This is our decision alone

nobody is saying you can't identify or specify whatever pronouns you want. But it laughable to say it's your decision if other people use them in the name of "tolerance," of all things

Your insistence on ordering trans people around and telling us if weΒ΄re allowed to find open misgenderings to be offensive would be laughable if it wouldn't be so disgusting. Pronouns are not a polite request to pretty please tone down your transphobia out of the kindness of your heart, respecting our pronouns is the absolute bare minimum of respect you can show towards us.

...nobody is ordering you around? You are the only one I see making demands, actually. You are welcome to be offended if you like, in fact I give you my permission

Go play in traffic, you transphobic pig.
