Not OP, but I had to do a conference talk on some or other live-stream platform and pronouns were 100% required for all speakers.
This is societal level, passive or "mild" bullying that the feminists have been complaining as a symptom of patriarchy for many years, yet here we are, reverse perpetuating things that we will most likely be judged on in coming generations.

That small minority seem to have disproportionate power (at least in the case of Lia Thomas).
I’m not sure how small it is and I don’t want to enable it.
There are people forcing/pressuring participation in the public display of pronouns/say your pronouns thing (you may just live somewhere insulated from it).
I’ve had it happen in Silicon Valley interviews and I know some groups at Stanford require it.
Only a small minority of people believe that.
