    Your pronouns?

    Some of my colleagues are now including their preferred pronouns in their email signatures. Likely only a matter of time before it becomes required for everyone in the company since we're so progressive n woke.

    I also noticed the same thing in an email signature that came from the local SHIFT Festival... prolly because their ED, Christian, had to go to time out because he hurt somebody's feelings. Fortunately that solved the problem.

    The pandering wokeness is becoming unbearable.

    But my pronouns are Fuck/Off if anyone asks. What are yours? I'd hate to offend any woke mags.

    I can't remember anyone's name for more than 2 minutes, how the fuck am I supposed to remember their pronouns?

    I'm anti-noun and pro-verb.

    New rule: If you want people to use other than standard pronouns for you, you must get them tattooed on your forehead in big letters.

    Only 10 posts in and I already have a headache. I'm not even sure how a signature contains a preferred pronoun

    However, if someone wants me to call him the Queen of Sheba, I am going to oblige. Because why be a total douche?

    This is not an issue on my farm. Though I have always wondered what you call a neutered male cat.

    My work does this too.

    I chose not to participate.

    I refuse to change the way I talk because a subset of the .5% trans population can get upset.

    I mean we are talking about restructuring the way we communicate to appease like .2% of the US population. 99.8% of us are cool with it.

    Just doesn’t make sense.

    I know, take it to the millennial thread...

    News to me too. WTF?

    See, I prefer FKNA/SENDIT

    For real though, when I onboarded at my current company, declaring your pronouns was required. It's also listed on our internal employee pages. So... yah

    Holy shiite, I must be 100% unemployable. I understand only 3 of the above.
