Why would someone who's previously shared feminist views add their pronouns to their Instagram? I always assumed if you did that it means you support trans rights, I don't get how you can be a feminist and do that but happy to stand corrected!

I think somewhere on the 'virtue signalling' / compelled speech spectrum.

Stick and carrot as ever, a little pat on the head for toeing the line, saying the right thing. Criticism and shunning if you do not.

My best friend at work is GC and has pronouns displayed so no one suspects him and he can manoeuvre politically Grin still grates on me through

I did wonder if she'd just done it because everyone else will have them where she works and she's trying to fit in.

I suspect that, one end of the feminism spectrum, there is a strong overlap with the sex-is-a-spectrum people.
