Well, I feel like a he/they/it. I don't know if you mean it the way I interpret it but.... I was raised in a way and time that felt to nudge me towards masculinity having been AMAB. But I don't feel like I fully subscribe to the idea of being a "man" a "he". But also for whatever reason I do mostly fit under that gender identity, and have always used he/him. So now-a-days I'm thinking of myself as more of a "he/they". Mix in a bit of existential thinking, and a general lack of care about my pronouns... I've literally thought about putting "he/they/it" as my pronouns.

But I've refrained out of concern it would be taken as being dismissive of other's gender identity, and/or the idea of gender identity altogether. When I only feel that way about my own gender identity.

So yeah, I saw your name and identified with it, it brought a little joy to my day, and wanted to share that with you.

Oh cool. I thought you might have meant that in a sarcastic way, talked about them being in my display name, or in another way.
