ruger357New Email Pronouns
I am not going to cater to these idiots though it does make it easier to spot the idiots.
If I had to do it for my job I 100% would do Your highness/ his highness or Your Trumpness/ his Trumpness.
If they had a problem with it, I would scream how they weren’t diverse and inclusive and sue the shit out of them. We have to start turning this shit around on them.

This weekend at drill, I gave the 'Transgender Awareness' brief, and I know while not mandatory, some (a very few) people have started including their pronouns in their signature blocks.

SIGnifiedSo you can’t communicate about work without expressing your sexual preferences?
How fucked up is that?
How do you even agree to participate in such a system?
God on mighty, how we have fallen so far? Please have mercy on our souls; we are sinners.

justjoeWhat boggles my mind is that .6% of the US population identify as transgender.
But look at the incredible influence they exert in education, corporate America, the entertainment world, media-- and so on.
Have so few ever flexed so much muscle?
"Cancel culture," in which they play a leading role, is just a name for bullies, who will destroy you if you do not march in lockstep.
How do they, this tiny handful of the population, accomplish this?

Useful idiots in the great reset/New World order. Dividing people by tribalism is the strategy. Plain as day. Evil.

selogicIt's a good time to be retired . I don't have to participate in that corporate crap and anybody I encounter in the real world will just have to get over it when I don't play into their bullshit .

Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

nasiggot an email from my daughter at her job this morning with the pronoun horseshit and I told my wife I was going to call her and ask her how the hell she was raised. Good thing my wife informed me it was a new requirement of her employer before I lowered the lid on my daughter.

They only accomplish this because people go along with it, usually out of fear I imagine.
Fear of losing a job
Fear of not being hired
Fear of your friends shunning you
Fear of society shunning you
Fear of physical violence from said mental patients
and so on...
Personally, I ignore the whole thing. If someone told me to address them by their pronouns I'd tell they to go fornicate themselves.

bruthajessAs a federal employee I've noticed a similar trend, although most of the emails that I've seen with the pronouns included are coming from folks in the DC area or people high up in the agency management hierarchy that appear to be directed to get on the "Inclusion and Diversity" band wagon. I wonder how they would feel if I put "Christian heterosexual" in parentheses. My guess is that the Inclusion and Diversity group wouldn't have a very inclusive opinion of how I identify, and they wouldn't think twice about the irony.
