It's their pronouns, because we haven't gotten to the part of the future yet where nobody gives a fuck what's in your pants, unless we're tryin' to smash.

I've been ignoring emails from anyone participating in this bullshit.

I work at a large, multinational company and I'm more and more frequently seeing e-mail signature blocks with the preferred pronoun...

Name:
Pronouns (e.g. him/he):
Title:
Phone:
e-mail:

I'm about to jump on the preferred pronoun bandwagon

Mrs. Mike has someone named “Joey” that puts her pronouns in her emails…when I saw it I asked why-she said it’s to prevent confusion because her name is neither feminine nor masculine..I said-can you tell when she talks?

I then had to go back to the living room…fucking retards…retards everywhere

Did Joey come from San Diego and was she raised on Oklahoma?

I worked with a girl name Joey. Very nice girl actually.

I am so tempted to do that on LinkedIn.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

I guess in a world where there is only email contact, it is a way for folks with ambiguous names to let folks know their gender. If it wasn't for the woke bullshit and 47 genders, etc nonsense, it wouldn't really be that offensive.

The thing I keep coming back to though, is that in a work environment your gender is irrelevant. You either do your job or you don't. You are either an asset or you aren't. Your plumbing doesn't matter.

It is somewhat similar to why I use Ms. when dealing with a female person I don't know. I don't know if she is married, I don't care if she is married, and it is none of my darned business if she is married.

My email signature at work:



For decades, until recently, we were Blank Operations, Division of blankety blank. But for years when people would ask what I did up there, I’d tell them I worked for the division of light refraction. Amazing how many people took that answer without batting an eye.

There’s an official confidentiality notice that’s a couple paragraphs long and some people actually have it in their emails. I cut down to my own version.
