I used to just not mind but over the years I've run into enough situations where I've misgendered someone and felt awful. Just seems like a good idea to normalize it by having it in email signatures, on name tags, etc.

Not saying it should be "mandatory" or it's some sort of sin not to do it for whatever reason but my opinion has changed over the years is all

I don't use gender specific pronouns much in the real world. If I know someone's name I'll just use their name or gender neutral pronouns, cause it seems the easiest way.

I've never run into this situation, but I agree. It's just easier.

Mind you, I always refer to humans not there as "humans" and "they" cause why the fuck not.

I personally don't care what gender pronouns get used for me, so including mine on introduction just doesn't seem like something I'd care to do. I have no problem respecting someone's wishes to be addressed by any specific pronoun, but also in that regard I tend to use gender neutral anyway.

Ive misgendered people. They correct me, I correct my actions and we move on.

really people act like its such a big deal when its not. Whats a big deal is blatantly insulting someone and not respecting them and their pronouns. Mistakes happen.
