    You don’t need to care about their pronouns. I don’t care either: in the sense that they can pick attack helicopter as their pronoun, and it is none of my business; and I don’t mind people accidentally refer to me with the wrong pronoun.

    However, pronouns are important for some people, as they and their forerunners went through a lot to freely use their pronouns today. And as a member of the society, I am happy that they have the freedom they deserve, and respect their choice of pronouns as it is possibly important to them.

    Listing you pronouns (even if you don’t care) can not only help people who cherish their freedom to feel safe and accepted, but also help people on the other side of the internet refer to you without the fear of misgendering.
