Can be from fandoms, local acquaintances, niche community forums, social media bubbles, whatever. What’s a big to-do going on that you just don’t care about?

    They aren’t just on the internet.

    I went to a college full of people like this, granted they were a minority there. But where I live it’s extremely common even outside of college that people get upset about this. I know several people who are in companies who require pronouns, etc. and I’ve had people come after me personally for not using them in my own correspondence privately, etc. Granted not every place is like this, but a lot of places increasingly do this ‘wear the ribbon’ type of nonsense and think if you don’t display the pride flag you are fair game for harassment and violence.

    It is very hard to get along with people like that. Who basically think anyone who doesn’t conform to what they want is evil and feel free to abuse and harass those people.
