Hexbear has the most transgender people of any instance and afaik is the only instance that has built in pronoun tags to make sure everyone is gendered right. Come check out https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns :)

Do you think mandatory outing is a good policy decision?
I very much agree, people shouldn't be forced to out themselves if they don't feel comfortable. Mandating pronoun tags is hostile and forces them to either lie or to out themselves.
"transgender = pronouns" is typical of the reductive liberal mindset that's encouraged at Hexbear. They don't actually think in terms of cause and effect. They think in terms of the symbols of progressivism. Pronouns look trans, so they must be good for trans people. I'm sure they think pink triangles are trans friendly too
