Tbh as a cis woman I’m really happy about the mandatory pronouns too. Tons of people online stick to the generic “he” when talking about a user. It was always annoying when people on the old sub said something like “He has a point” or whatever. Each time I’d struggle between not wanting to make a big deal out of it by correcting them, but also wanting to push back against the idea that it’s only brocialists on r/CTH. Plus it’s cool to scroll down and see she/her and realise you’re not the only woman commenting, particularly when there’s something about sexism or feminism. It’s made me less hesitant to push back against some stuff.
