Okay to use he/they pronouns as a cis male?
I’m a cis male ally and I want to help others know that I’m a safe person for them to interact with. The thought of introducing myself with he/they pronouns or having it in my work email signature doesn’t bother me.
My question is, is that queerbaiting or invalidating others who use he/they or she/they pronouns?
I never went through a gender discover period and have always felt that he/him has applied well to me. I feel that I’m secure enough in my identity as a male that if someone used he/they for me it wouldn’t make me insecure about myself (if that makes sense). I know that for some people, getting to the point of using he/they or she/they pronouns is a long and hard journey and has serious meaning behind it. I don’t want to invalidate them by just deciding that I’ll start using the same pronouns because the idea of it doesn’t bother me.
