YOU CAN HELP normalize this by doing a couple of REALLY simple things:
- Edit your Twitter & FB bio, email sig, etc to include your pronouns, whether you're #trans or not.

2. Understand that correct pronouns are NOT optional, nor a preference. In some jurisdictions, it's even against sex-based discrimination laws to misgender someone.
