Solid Sonic 10/13/21 6:06:36 AM #19:	I don't understand the syntax or etiquette of how this works. How do you "introduce yourself with a pronoun?" The_Hat posted... I went to Gen Con (board games and such) this year and they had ribbons that you could add onto your badge that had different pronoun options. It was nice to see. I can see something like this working but I'm not sure how you'd do it just as part of an off-the-cuff greeting (like "Hi, I'm Vickie and please use 'she' when referring to me!"). --- It is more important to use your anonymity to upset other people than it is to do anything productive. <cite>Solid Sonic posted [p:958984946] in seems like...
