Why do people who aren't trans feel the need to put pronouns next to their name or picture? It seems so cringeworthy to me, to participate in that SJW paradigm of thought, like they are a spineless person who just goes along with the trends.

Hi, Kevin Grem.

Alex can be short for Alexander or Alexandra (also Alexis).

Three examples just off the top of my head for you to think about:

Lululemon Stock Plummets 22% in Late Trading on Cut Guidance. Tariffs Are to Blame. - Barron's

Initially, I read this question, thought to myself “What kind of person asks a question like this?” Then I looked at your profile, particularly your posts in the space It’s OK to be White, wherein you talk about “the radical left” and “white advocates who’ve been unlawfully deplatformed.” I also looked at several of your questions and answers, which - to sum up - appear to consist of “Trump didn’t do anything wrong and you’re all meanie pooh-heads for going after him.

Jean; this is a woman’s name in English; it’s a man’s name in French.

So, ignoring your entirely irrelevant opinion - because nobody cares if you think it’s cringeworthy or spineless - and to address the actual question, to whit: “Why do people who aren’t trans feel the need to put their pronouns next to their name or picture?” I will mention just one reason among many to do so: namely, that there are quite a few names in common use that can be used by both men and women.

Is it common for Americans to feel "trapped" due to the size and distance of their country from other countries/continents? Is this feeling an exaggeration or a reality?

Fred is short for both Frederic and Frederica.

However, since I’m in a mellow mood today, allow me to educate you in how to ask a question without sounding like a festering wankstain. The problem with your question as phrased is that it should’ve stopped at the question mark. The rest is simply your ignorant and uninformed opinion.

Try looking at the world through a larger window than your own narrow-minded bigotry.

If nobody will hire me, should I turn to crime to pursue a career in programming? I ask because if there's no legal entry-level jobs due to the oversaturation, I might have to go underground for it.
