Genus and pronouns have many regular uses, but my point is another. I'll try an analogy to help you understand my point.

Imagine seeing someone who has "white, german, non-jewish heritage". Does this come off as creepy? Why do they think these properties are important? I'd be wary af of that person, if not ghost them outright.

This is approximately also what i feel when i see the pronouns in someones bio. Gender used to be your pronouns and your nomen's declination class, and now we got people insisting that its something more, and that its something important. That its something personal. Its creeping me out.

What exactly is that that make people feel the need to point out their pronouns?
