Of course the form could simply have made the preferred pronoun field optional. A part of the problem here is people insisting on tackling the issue head on. Insisting on me self identifying as cis male (and this isn't a hill I want to die on) is, by definition, me declaring I am NOT transgender. In this new world of purity tests I am forced into a debate I just might not wish to engage. The liberal notion of insistence that we be tolerant of all opinions means that someone who is considered intolerant is not tolerated. Furthermore many of us find ourselves being guilt tripped about being intolerant when we are simply questioning and refusing to take sides until our questions are answered.
