I understand your point of view more than most of the arguments I've seen against mandatory pronouns. So please take my comment as friendly, I'll do my best not to be a rude asshole.

How would you feel about (any) for your pronoun choice? That's functionally the same as not listing them, people can still choose which ones they want to use for you, but it still shows you're supportive of people prominently displaying their pronouns. That or you could consider maybe a neopronoun. I personally really like e/em/eir. They're nice and genderless, easy to use, and, bonus, a mathematician came up with them in like the '70s (I could have the year wrong and I refuse to look it up), not because he was trying to be trans inclusive, but because he hated that math books assumed their readers were all men and he wanted to include women in his writing. (Singular they was considered ungrammatical at that point.)

No, they don't. I personally know a cis person who has their pronouns on hexbear set as they/them or comrade/them. Those aren't the pronouns they use in real life.

If someone assumes you're trans simply because your pronouns are set to something other than she/her or he/him, that's kind of on them. People are allowed to lie on the internet. Choose any pronouns you like, it doesn't matter.

I personally assume absolutely nothing about the cisness or transness of someone with "any" or "none/use name" as their pronouns of choice.

Does "customize" not work? As in:

EndeavorOS KDE customization

This is the first time that I've tried to start customizing my system

There is a consensus in this community. Posts that use the racist term get removed when they're noticed by mods. You can check the mod log.

Hey, just so you know, "rice" is a racist term. You should remove it from your title and post body before a mod removes your post

Do you really believe this? Red hat is paying people to shill for them on lemmy? I don't suppose I could trouble you for some evidence of that, could I?

Paid moderators? Why do you think they get paid? Who do you think is paying them?

I'm saying that if sufficient infrastructure exists then it's fine to just ban SUVs entirely because they're not necessary.

I think I'm a big dumdum because I didn't realize until literally this comment that this is the other, better, non-carbrained solution. I was over here like "so what, you just want people with SUV's to decide of their own accord not to drive them into downtown because suddenly they realize they're bad people for doing so? Never gonna happen."

But now that I see your much better idea, simply ban all SUVs from Paris, I'm entirely on board! I do think that's going to be a harder law to pass than hiking parking fees, but it would definitely be a much better one!

That's not the issue. She is a public figure and has shared her own photos. The issue is that Channel 7 falsely implied she regrets her transition. Channel 7 is trying to use a happily transitioned trans person as an example of someone harmed by childhood transition, and that's slimy as hell
