Is this a better way to be a visible ally than other types of pin?
So far, I've been using the usual flag based stuff so that folks know there's someone present on their side. I tend to minimize pins and such during summer because I just can't wear them on regular shirts, but there's room on my hat if it would be helpful. But if it isn't better than the flag already on it, I tend to dislike pins on hats lol. Don't mind them on jackets though, hence the summer issue
Also, personally, i would feel 10000x safer and more comfortable if i encountered a cis person with a pronoun pin. It eliminates the guesswork, you can be reasonably sure theyre an ally.
New trans hack: wear misgendered pronoun pin and bask in the schadenfreude of transphobes correctly gendering you against their will.
but then allies will misgender you ๐ข
How do you know if someone is a bigot? Don't worry, they'll tell you.
(Just be prepared that it might be someone you know, like your best friend)

I wouldn't say so. As long as we can tell that you stand with us, it's appreciated!
Always. It eats at my soul the way LGBTQ people get treated, and trans people in specific.
Cis people suck in general lmao.
I don't wear pronouns and get primarily they/them.
I wear they/them and mostly get she/her.
I wear she/her and get misgendered.
You don't have to play their game to play them.

Hey look! The garbage takes itself out!

I should wear many. all the wrong pronouns. Watch them try to comprehend enough to insult me. Have a little laff.
that is so fucked. transphobes are utterly deranged
