Read on Twittera short thread on why this should be normalized.
i noticed a lot of my mutuals have fonts on their profile while others don& #39;t have their pronouns anywhere on their profile at all. i want to address this so i hope you& #39;ll listen to me.
if you& #39;re not aware, screenreaders can& #39;t read fonts properly, which makes it difficult for the people who need them to read text. you wouldn& #39;t want to hear something this jarring, would you?
as for some fonts, they are unreadable on certain devices and just show up as boxes. others are just plain difficult to read. so please don& #39;t use fonts!
please read this carrd on why it& #39;s important to have your pronouns on your profile! https://prnsinbio.carrd.co/ ">https://prnsinbio.carrd.co/">...
if you feel unsafe / uncomfortable placing your pronouns on your profile, that is completely fine! you can place these symbols to indicate this!
:
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔶" title="Große orangene Raute" aria-label="Emoji: Große orangene Raute"> // https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔸" title="Kleine orangene Raute" aria-label="Emoji: Kleine orangene Raute">

also, i& #39;ve heard that screenreaders don& #39;t read out locations, so it& #39;s best to place your pronouns in your bio! let& #39;s avoid misgendering each other and make our profiles a safe space for everyone!
i hope you could take the time to make your profile inclusive for all! feel free to add anything in the replies for more information! i& #39;ll be sure to link it below.
thank you for reading! have a nice day! take care of yourselves, eat well, and stay hydrated! don& #39;t forget that you are loved and valid ♡
