Honestly striving for gender neutral language is great but we found that people would use gender neutral pronouns to avoid people's preferred pronouns which is - at minimum - sus as fuck if not outright bigoted behaviour which we don't tolerate. We see ourselves as a community, and as such are made of people who have various preferences. Since we see each other as people we all want to respect each other properly when addressing each other, thats why we all have our pronouns in our names.
