I think it's fine if you're transgender, or any variation of androgynous or genderqueer, or something like that.

It does seem pretentious and unnecessary when it's, well, unnecessary. Say a cis guy, who looks like a guy, dresses like a guy, and still has "he/his" in his bio... then you're just trying to hard to fit in with the SJWs.

What about people who don't post selfies and whatnot?

nayrt Exactly, it's often hard on a blog.

Plus, normalising the idea that you *ask* before you assume, is polite.

I wish people irl would do that before calling my son "she", because he has curls. Or just use "they".

AYRT

Yeah, that makes sense too, if they don't post pictures. I was thinking of people who post selfies looking clearly like one particular gender, are cis, and still put the pronouns in. But I guess there are still cases where they might have reasons to do it.

I thought the cis people doing that where trying to make it look normal to support their trans friends. why else would they do that?

*is guilty*

I do it to obscure my gender. I'm a straight cis white male. That's no way to navigate the internet at the moment. however when I'm not he, but "hy" it's like a shield. a nice cozy blanket of "Fuck off I'm not one of those privileged assholes!"

I'm pretty sure 90% of tumblr's "dfab demigirl femmeboy genderfluids" are cis girls trying to be special so...

Oh yes it's so hard to be a straight cis white male on the internet at the moment, I quite agree.

fuck you both

IA. I understand representing if you are LGTB, genderqueer, genderfluid, etc. But the whole putting down your cis is really OTT attention needy. Especially if it's a blog that's not even SJW or activist related, which I see a lot, why put it?

da

I always thought it was to challenge cis as 'default'.

Not that some of the people who do this kind of thing don't go overboard as allies.

I guess it could be, it just all comes off as tumblr special snowflake.

Attention seeking, really? But seriously why to you is it only trans people who should identify their gender alignment? By only making the "weird" people name their identities it makes the common one invisible and central and normal and unquestioned.

So you're trying to tell me a good portion of tumblr isn't attention seekers? pfft. I said anyone in the LBGT, meaning anyone who isn't cis should feel free to identify. Cis is the social norm, no need to identify it. You don't need a gold star and asspats from your fellow tumblrs for being cis.

I in no way said that LGTB people are "weird", you're projecting and reaching there. Identifying for the LGTB is a part of pride, not of shame. You seem super defensive and really reaching with the "making the common one invisible". Cis people are the mass majority, everybody fucking knows it and people don't need a tumblr profile reminder that that person is the heteronormative.
