I wanted to apologize to anyone who may have mistaken my pronouns in my profile as an intent to mock the use of pronouns.

The intent was always that I am happy to use whatever pronouns a person wishes that they feel best represents respect shown to them. Likewise I asked for pronouns to be used for me that also shows respect. It was intended to be a two way street not a mockery.

I have since added a note to my profile to make it quite clear my pronouns are not intended to mock.

@freemo I considered a humorous presentation of my pronouns but decided against it. The topic of pronouns is not yet mature enough in society for people to have a sense of humor about it, but it will come.

Too large a segment with pronoun issues have a justifiable lack of humor concerning them. I initially put them in my Bird Site bio as respect and solidarity. I didn't see until later it makes a FANTASTIC filter to be rid of people too full of themselves to engage with anyway. The same people who get really worked up if you use the wrong pronouns for God.
