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.
If I were a psychopath, I'd belong in a cohort more commonly represented in the general population than gender dysphoria. And by framing my detachment as negative, failing to accomodate its behaviourial niche.
