Though I much more understand the stance of if everyone does it, then it makes it easier for trans folks to do it without feeling awkward.
But seeing as this topic is immediately thinking right winger when it comes to this, I feel like maybe yall are talking about a specific demographic.
That's the whole point. If only trans and NB people do it, it's like yelling "Hey look at me! Treat me differently!" Most people don't want that. That's why the idea is that everyone does it in these spaces.
And no one needs to do a poll to know that the average anti-pronoun argument is not coming from non-conforming people genuinely afraid of outing themselves in public. Those people exist and have a legitimate reason. But the right-wing outrage machine is the only reason this "controversy" got blasted into public consciousness. I'm not even sure what the anger from the right is. Are trans people going to harvest their pronouns if they speak them?
