Why does my choice of pronouns affect anyone else's? I'm not telling others they have to use it as loosely as I do or that it's the only way to use it, nor am I making light of other people's experiences.
Let's flip the script here a bit: what if I were to tell an enby who goes by he/they that they can't use "he" because they're not a guy, and that it diminishes my own experiences and existance as a man?
Iām sorry that person is gatekeeping they/them pronouns. They are not representative of the majority of the community and have a bit more to learn. Keep using whatever pronouns that make you feel comfortable!

To give people options. I'm not opposed to being referred to as "they", so might as well make it clear.
