I know you well enough to know that your "preferred pronouns" are just bullshit attention-grabbing.
You're the only one that makes them an issue. Saying "hey, it's they/them/their, not he or she" isn't exactly am attention-grabbing statement, unless a misgendering stalker constantly makes an issue of it.

I don't think I've ever screamed at anyone on here for getting my pronouns wrong. I strive to not do that sort of thing. I certainly don't look for an excuse to do something like that.
Since you allegedly know me so well, I'm sure you'd have noticed if I had did that in the past year. But I think maybe you don't me that well, and are operating under a lot of false assumptions under me.

I strive to be a good person. I am not perfect. I do struggle to break a tendency to be self-righteous and condescending. Maybe I suck at not being those things, but I'm not going to give up trying.
This is just another ploy for attention; you've stuck with it because it grants you minority status, which confers a permanent victim status so you can play at being sad when someone "misgenders" you.
If you really believe that, then the best thing to do is to use the appropriate pronouns and give me no opportunity to "play at being sad".
Maybe some people lie about their gender status. But you shouldn't ignore people's statements on their preferred pronouns. Because you are not an omniscient judge and you might be mistaken and hurting a trans person by doing so.
I won't try to convince you of my gender identity, because you are deeply convinced I'm lying. But not believing is no excuse to ignore my preferred pronouns.

You've got it in one, right here.

I'm saying it's a good idea to always use people's preferred pronouns, because you are not omniscient. Setting yourself up as a judge of who deserves to be called their preferred pronouns, and who doesn't, is not a good idea.
