I feel the same way about my pronouns. It truly doesn’t matter to me. I’m glad people who feel strongly about it have the opportunity to make that choice, I just can’t relate to giving a damn about it. I had to call some customer service line a few times over the course of several days about a year ago, and every time I did, the agent asked the pronoun question. After like the fourth call I was getting annoyed. You’d think they’d add it to your profile after the first time, but no, even though they clearly had all my other information on a screen in front of them, they still had to ask. I don’t get that.
I must also confess to a slight paranoia about such things. I feel like my gender is information neither the government nor the company I buy pants from actually need. Why do they want to know? How is it going to change what they do for me?
