For the record I've found that simply omitting pronouns on forms and during introductions that ask for them is a good way to stand by your principles without causing a stink, and if there are problems it makes it easy for neutral onlookers to see that the complainer is the real asshole.

The alternative would be “can all those people with gender dysphoria please announce themselves so us normies know who’s “different””.

Yeah, everyone should act like freaks so we don't draw attention to the real freak. That's a totally sane way to handle the situation. /s

You did announce your pronouns, the issue was in the way you did so, not in a principled refusal to do so.

This is actually sort of correct. The OP's version of events should be taken with a grain of salt, but as I said above simply ignoring the pronoun part of the introduction is the best way to handle the nonsense without feeding into it. "Begrudgingly" giving in is the worst of all worlds. You get shit from the retards and you just sold out your principles. But I get the feeling that this guy doesn't have any principles. He's posting on r/askfeminists, so he's desperate for leftist validation. He just ran into a snag because he still has one toe in the real world, but he still wants to be told what a good leftist he is.

Set aside your own ego about being told what to do. You had a choice to show anyone outside of gender norms that they are safe and can be themselves around you. How do you want other people to feel when they're around you?

That's not safety, that's submission. For safety all they have to do is not whip out a penis that the other person isn't expecting. But for some reason that's too much to ask.

It is extremely important for us cis allies to normalize respecting pronouns. Doesn't matter if the whole group is cis or not. It's up to those of us with privilege to manage our own. By creating a space where asking for and respecting pronouns is normal, we teach other cis folk that this new social behavior is the standard they should follow.

Who died and made this asshole the sole authority on social etiquette? He virtue signals way too hard to not be a sexual predator. It shouldn't need to be said, but this pronoun shit is not how normal people interact. It's a only thing in niche groups of leftist weirdos and places they infect, like academia and HR.
