    At the same time, I don’t see such a problem with just straightforwardly asking for pronouns, or doing introduction pronoun circles.

    If it’s an explicitly queer event, maybe. But I don’t want people asking me pronouns at work, for example. Lots of pretty blatant homophobia and transphobia around here, so I rather people just incorrectly assume I’m a guy for now so it doesn’t affect my ability to earn money.

    Imo, offering your own during an introduction is enough to provide an implicit offer for someone else to share without pressuring them to do so. Doing so should be more normalized.

    Anyways, I’ve never seen a pronoun circle as far as I remember and I’ve only essentially been asked my pronouns once (which was at work and I just ignored the question) except like my brother asked I came out.
