And another thing: why do we list our pronouns?

(I don’t; but many do.)

What’s with the list? Why does anyone say, for example, “My pronouns are they, them, their”? If they just say “they,” don’t the other ones have to be “them” and “their”? Would anyone ever say “My pronouns are she, them, and his”?

I mean, do we really have to spell it out like that? Are we giving grammar lessons? Seems like enough to say, if we have to say it at all, that one’s pronoun is H, S, or T.

That would also fit nicely on a button or lapel pin or even a modest tattoo on the back of the hand, saving others from having to memorize lists of particulars for everyone in their wider social and business environments.
