He/him = they/them "trans allys" rant
No rant flair?
I go by he/him strictly. I'm a very binary trans man and I'm in stealth when possible because I pass fairly well. I hate it when they/them pronouns are used on me (unless the person using them doesn't know better) because to me that tells me more that people are uncomfortable viewing me as a boy than respecting me.
So many people do this and it's so awkward. "This is name. They love to do xyz and have an interest in blah blah blah, and they blah blah." Bro my pronouns are he/him stop complicating things. It's always so embarrassing too.
If I tell them I actually go by he/him and not they/them, they look at me, basically say "..." and use my pronouns once. Lol it's a little funny but also infuriating.
The worst part is that most of the people who do this are nonbinary and I respect their pronouns. I'm so tempted to pull the "she/her" card but that'd just make me an asshole and I like to respect people.
