There is a lot more. You are forced to list pronouns, declare your gender at conferences, read daily articles about trans people in all major newspapers.

Prospective Supreme court justices have to delegate the definition of "woman" to a biologist.

And you'll be called transphobic at the slightest infraction of the ever growing set of rules.

The whole rainbow movement exists to gain positions, money and power and to have a free pass to yell at dissenters.

It really feels like there is real split in the "trans-community". Between those who actually just want to identify with their new gender quietly and get on with their lives. With only people around them accepting them.

And then the online and it's allied that push for all sort of weirdness and political visibility and gains.

Many don't have much issues at least those to air in public about first one. The later one seems to aim in places also ruin things that they enjoy. Just for signalling and power.

When exactly have you been forced to list your pronouns?
At work you often are. For example, many top tech employers force you to add your pronouns on your mail signature.
Which employers, specifically? I work for AWS and they do not have such a requirement. Doing so is completely voluntary.
