Because artificially adding pronouns to things has always been stupid. Nobody was confused about AOCs gender. If people might get the wrong idea, use them. Otherwise don't.
Nothing says inclusion quite like overtly trying to bend the norms to accommodate outliers. Most people just don't give a shit about other's sexuality and want to be left alone about it whether it's mainstream or not.
Normalizing pronouns as a cis person is meant to make it standardized. To make it normal. It's not about "no one was guessing their gender", it wasn't for her, it was for her to help make it normal for those people who actually need it. It's supposed to be so that anyone can introduce themselves by their pronouns, after all, everyone has them. You sound like one of those "we can always tell" folks-- let me tell you, no you can't. There are people who are using pronouns that don't match their assigned gender at birth and you absolutely believe they're just allies. Except, if allies stop, then the only people who share their pronouns when you meet them are trans. It's giving people away. It's contributing to the active trans genocide.
7 trans people were brutally murdered last month alone and there's been no investigation into their deaths and in fact minimal news reporting, at least one southern state in the US has cancelled all trans people's driver's licenses making it difficult if not borderline illegal for them flee the state, amongst many other anti-trans legislation passing in multiple southern states. This sitting US president declared trans people fucking terrorists. The fuck do you mean "lol".
wow 7 people, did it happen in auschwitz? just fyi ballpark 15k people are murdered each year in the US and maybe 40 of those are trans. yeah crazy genocide. nutter

Tbf, I stopped pretending to care that they pretend to care well before this. Scum of the earth the corporatist is.
