Genuine, specific question, and I am not sure where else to ask:
Why do people tend to state: 'My pronouns are [he/she/they]' rather than 'I am [a woman/man/other]'?
The former seems to be rather indirect to me -- if it's requesting the reader respect an aspect of the writer's self-identity, doesn't it imply the latter?
