#we've had sufficient turnover since then i'm not 100% sure how the new people have found out about my pronouns

[gender-trash]

oh yeah also if we're posting about pronoun circles i'm meh on them personally (one of my top ten least favorite interactions: i walk into the room and a well-meaning HR type lady picks up on My Vibe and cheerfully goes "oh let's all do a pronoun circle!!") and they're actively hostile to a variety of other trans-spectrum experiences, but the absolute worst pronoun-sharing experience i ever had was in a public speaking class i was forced to take in college as a graduation requirement. day 1 in my section we had an exercise where we split off in pairs, the other person asked you questions, you could ONLY answer the questions asked, and then the other person introduced you as if you were about to give a speech. i don't know what this was meant to prove about anything but in my case it resulted in the absolutely delightful experience of sitting there with clenched teeth while this normie frat guy asked me questions that were not the single question i wanted him to ask and then being Turbo Misgendered by him for thirty seconds. we then received an assignment to record a video self-introduction, in which i included my pronouns somewhat spitefully; after i submitted this to the TA in charge of my section she sent out an email asking us all to share our pronouns "if they're different from what i would assume by looking at you". the rest of the class did not significantly improve from this inauspicious beginning
