This is so stupid. I know plenty of cishet people who include their pronouns in their sig because they have a gender neutral name.
Or, in my case, for solidarity and normalizing it.
Of course it's daft to mandate what people can and can't put in their email footers but I don't get why people put pronouns in footers.
I'm cis male and he/him. Others can call refer to me as it/them or she/her if they wish.
I dislike bananas but I don't put that in my email footer.
I haven't seen it in a while anyway. I thought it was a fad from the late 10s
I’ve never done this, but this would make me start doing it
I, too, dislike being employed.
But seriously most people will not risk their livelihood for it. It is almost guaranteed to end up in court like so many other of Trump's bullshit policies.
They're getting fired eventually anyway, they had pronouns in their sig in the first place.
Does that include Mr. Mrs. and other gendered titles?
Of course not, those are heteronormative.
And yet again, the Tangerine Palpatine is focusing on stupid shit.
Farmers unable to gather their harvest? The working and middle classes being squeezed into oblivion? Grocery prices skyrocketing? Unknown drones taunting our military bases? Military helicopters colliding with commercial jets?
Nah, none of that stuff matters! Instead we just focus on fucking pronouns in emails!
What an absolute fucking joke.
Edit: fixed a typo.
What about the people who often have DDoD, OCIS, NCIS, CCNA, CCNP, A+, Ph.D, MA, MBA, BA, BS, K12, SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS after their names? Can we get rid of title abuse then never focus on pronouns?
App can go except for "SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS". Because that one is SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS!
Jesus fucking christ.
This would make a great pronoun or title attached to your name. Sign off every email with ...
John Doe
Jesus Fucking Christ
Sucks for anyone named Jamie or Alex. Trump is acting like he won in a landslide, even though he wasn’t even able to scrape together a majority of votes; more people voted against him than for him.
Sadly it’s a mandate until people actually start pushing back.
