I’ve never actually heard or seen someone honor such a request online or IRL, and it would sound ridiculously stilted if they did. Where is Rumpelstiltskin's coat? Rumpelstiltskin must have left it at the bar. Will someone please text Rumpelstiltskin and let Rumpelstiltskin know?

ive gone back and forth between he/him, and none/use name and any/any because i dont care how people refer to me. I guess that might be problematic but im not real smart and im nothing but fucking problems. I left it at he/him because it is important to others, and im trying to be mindful of others.

Yeah I don’t especially care which pronouns people use to refer to me, either. I get misgendered over the phone and usually don’t bother correcting them.

Why do people refer to your in third person over the phone? With me it's usually "you"

You got me there, sorry

Not caring about what pronouns people use for you is not problematic. You don't need to present specific pronouns to make others happy. Just need to respect that other people want to be described by them, which you do.
