 Prewritten thread for if they do the stickers again this year—
 
-As a male with mild gender dysphoria (which is probably causally related to my autogynephilic sexuality), pronoun stickers (like those at @RustConf) make me uncomfortable for nuanced reasons that are hard to adequately explain when limited to 280 characters at a time! 1/7 [include photo]

-Like, I don't want to put on the "HE" sticker, because that would be taken to mean that I actively "identify" with the unfortunate fact of my being male, when really it's more that I don't expect people to pretend not to notice, given how I look. 2/7
+I don't want to put on the "HE" sticker, because that would be taken to mean that I actively "identify" as a male, when really it's more that I don't expect people to pretend not to notice. Passing in the MtF direction is REALLY HARD and I just don't expect to pull it off 2/8

-Likewise, I can't put on the "SHE" sticker. I do prefer the æsthetics of feminine pronouns and cherish them in contexts where that makes sense (like when cosplaying a female character), but I couldn't really expect people to take that seriously in real life, given how I look. 4/7

-I guess I could use the "THEY" sticker?? But I'm still not sure what the truth condition is for having a nonbinary gender (in contrast to my biological sex, which is pretty unambiguous from multiple lines of evidence, even if I'm not necessarily happy about it). 5/7
+Like, men who fantasize about being women for sexual reasons do not particularly resemble actual women? We just—don't? This seems kind of obvious, really?? 5/8
 
-I guess I'm unnerved by the implication that the subconscious process by which the brain notices people's secondary sex characteristics is somehow illegitimate? I'm happy to use the indicated pronouns, but am I also supposed to override my perception of physical reality? 6/7
