    It’s a much different conversation to say “it hurts to be called something I’m not” versus “I want you to call me something specific”. One is a generic behavioral change, just refer to everyone as they/them, it’s super easy!

    But I’m not going to capitalize it for random jokers with a god complex, they get the blanket generic pronoun same as everyone else. Frankly, it’s rare I even read the username of a comment before replying - the pronouns are entirely irrelevant to the actual purpose of the comment.
