mentioning that you’re cis and putting your pronouns in your sidebar/about make you like 500% more trustworthy bc it means that you’re a) likely educated about trans issues and b) working to denormalize being cis [bc generally only trans people are expected to mention their pronouns and gender]

it’s also really helpful in terms of accessibility for disabled people like me and for folks on mobile

so like

if you can then

maybe do that please

putting your pronouns in your about is super important and everyone should do it! but please don’t try to emphasize that people should feel obligated to put their cis/trans status or a description of their gender in a public place because that forces stealth trans people into the choice of either coming out or lying and that’s not good. 

also if you are cis remember to avoid saying things like:

• “i’m cis” instead of providing pronouns
• “male” or “female” pronouns
• “whatever pronouns you think/i don’t care about pronouns”
• “he, she, it, whatever”
• “your highness/your liege/my lord” or anything else that treats pronouns as a joke

basically, just state your pronouns in the typical nominative/objective/possessive format
