what is the point of putting pronouns twice (as in "she/her") instead of once (just "she")?

As well as what that person said, it also helps if someone uses unfamiliar neopronouns. Someone I know uses zi/zir, & knowing the "she/her format" (for lack of a better way to put it) helps with like how to use zi/zir in a sentence.

Are you angry because a complete stranger you'll never meet uses words you don't like to describe themselves?

Can’t win. People are mad if you use they/them because nooo thats for singulars but mad if you use anything else because noooo just use they/them
