    So, I am a cis gay male. Yet I find that I don't mind if people call me "she" or "her". I don't identify as femme, but I don't care about what pronoun people call me by. Why is that?

    I'm exactly like you, I'm a female and I don't care what pronouns people use. I guess it's mainly because it's not a big deal at all.

    I guess if you're cis and you've never had a problem with your gender/questioned it, you don't feel as though you're being challenged or that people are taking away from your identify when they use different pronouns. Might not be like that for everyone, thats just my idea.

    Kind like I'm a trans dude but I really don't mind if people use female pronouns for me.

    I don't really mind what pronouns people use for me either, I guess it just doesn't bother me, or I don't care

    I agree with this, I get self conscious about myself I get called a she or her. It is just a personal thing.

    As of now, I don't really mind that people use female pronouns with me but it does annoy me. I can't really help it though, I pass as female most of the time. Maybe once I start transitioning, I'll start correcting people.

    In my imagination.
    My voice, strangely enough, has randomly deepened enough to the point where now I am getting a Adam's apple- I say "getting", but it's visible. That and the way I dress should be enough to get people to understand what I am, but once in a while there's the oblivious old lady who says I'm such a pretty young girl. X_X Seriously, only old ladies mistake me for females- I think their eyesight's bad or something. Usually I correct them, but if I feel threatened I might keep silent and just not comment on it unless it gets too out-of-hand.

    If you were transgender, you would care more about pronouns. For example, I'd like people to use the pronouns "she", "her", and "hers" to refer to me. I guess if you're gay and you have qualities of another gender, particularly one whose members you interact with, then you wouldn't really mind.

    Read above for examples of trans people who don't mind being called the wrong pronouns
