oh boy.

> Why are you putting your pronouns up?

To normalize people being open and explicit about their gender identity so that people with non-obvious gender identities can feel less conspicuous sharing theirs.

> they/them

They and them have been neutral-gender pronouns forever.

> And yet dissent and mockery of this abject stupidity is largely censored.

Because most of it is thinly veiled transphobia. You can still disagree with the censorship but to act as if it's mostly good-faith arguments being censored is just naive.
