Do you have a functional cisdar/gaydar? Mine seems to be broken.

Less flippantly: you don't necessarily know, a priori, what someone's pronouns are just from their name and/or profile on some web service. That's why listing pronouns is, at the absolute minimum, socially useful.

I think it boils down to if its important to you, list them. If its not, leave them off. I’ll never list mine because I cannot think of a time in my life when some one has gotten my pronouns wrong, and even if they did, it would not offend me in the slightest. If anything I would just assume the person misspoke, or if it continued, that they are an idiot or intentionally being an ass.
