I'm a cis hetero woman. Is it problematic for me to use both she/her and they/them pronouns?
Recently heard of someone doing this to try and normalize "they/them" to people who aren't used to it or are unfamiliar. I like this, but don't want to encroach on something that isn't mine. If you are genderqueer or nonbinary what are your thoughts?
Now that I think about it, it's unlikely that this would come up too often because I am really never misgendered, and if I'm in a social or professional setting where I'm being asked my pronouns it's unlikely that anyone around me would be unfamiliar with gender-neutral pronouns. So this might be kind of a moot point. Still though, do you find this problematic?
