Description Oh boy oh boy may as well make more people angry
Also sorry I haven't been making many stamps I am very busy with my job   

Anyway, whenever someone is arguing with another person about saying "Pronouns don't equal gender" a common argument is "Well, that gives people ammo to misgender trans people" which is not what people mean when they say that. Pronouns don't equal gender just means if someone wants to go by pronouns that aren't typically associated with their gender, than they should be able to. If a guy wants to go by she/her pronouns or a girl wants to go by he/him pronouns or a girl/boy want to go by they/them or neopronouns, why stop them if that's making them comfortable? If a nonbinary person wants to go by he/him or she/her pronouns, who fucking cares? Normalizing going by whatever pronouns you want helps trans people more easily ask to be called their pronouns.
If a trans man exclusively goes by he/him pronouns, than he goes by he/him pronouns and that decision shouldn't be disrespected. But if a trans man wants to go by she/her pronouns, than who fucking cares? However, saying "pronouns don't equal gender" is not an invitation to misgender anyone. It just means people should be able to pick their PGP without someone coming along and saying "You go by ___ pronouns so you're actually a boy/girl/nonbinary person." It's not saying "Guess or assume people's pronouns!!" People who genuinely use "Pronouns don't equal gender" as a way to misgender people should be called out for using that phrase incorrectly.
Basically, denounce gender roles but respect gender identity. That's legit all the phrase means, but is directed at pronouns. Idk why this is so hard for people to understand.
