I think you and I would get along very well . When I worked in a corporate environment, I developed a strong distaste for anyone from marketing or sales. Big on words, small on substance. I encountered a few sales types who actually knew their stuff and could provide useful information and support, but the marketing department as a whole was a lost cause.

Id immediately come up with the most bullshit gender pronoun I could find on the net (they have hundreds of them). And then put it in my signature just like twat boy. Then raise hell when he/his/him fucks it up.

Sorry, we all have to interact with strangers in the world. You're going to get called "sir" or "miss" and the associated pronouns, due to how you look. It's not meant as an offense, we all don't have time to learn individual words for everyones pronouns.

Among strangers and in public, people need to "tolerate" normal pronouns.

Among people they know personally? I imagine people will accommodate them.

I won't. I won't have to because I won't continue to know such people personally.

Call me Loretta!

I want to have babies!

I’d be inclined to submit my own preferred pronoun:

MAGA.

Mono Autoerotic Gender Automaton, or some such nonsense, let them figure it out. You don’t owe them any explanation. Insist they use it.

I'll go with this!

I am not even sure what to say.
He/him/his

DILLIGAF? Nope.

You look like a dude, I’ll probably cal, you “Sir”.
You look like a misses, I’ll probably call you “Ma’am.

Does that offend you? If so, I’ll probably really offend you when I tell you to grow a pair (tits or balls, depending on the gender I perceive you to be) and to fuck off.

Strange. If the goal is "treat me like everyone else" but the first step demanded is to "treat me special," doesn't that nullify the goal?

They've got a situation.

Maybe the goal is not equality at all.

A new employee is telling the entire company how it is acceptable to refer to them? Really?

What happened to "be quiet, look, listen, and learn, new kid"

These idiots should be happy if I can even remember their damn NAMES,let alone some "custom pronoun" that's a manifestation of their mental disorder.

Well please start addressing me as Highness because I identify as the king of this realm. You shall never refer to me as “sir.” This title is at least three levels beneath me.

Yes, I am serious peasant and either comply with my identity or follow me to GR. Your choice.

This whole He/Him/whatever crap is another MeeToo movement trap brought to you by your tax dollars at work in every public school system. I've almost been caught in this nightmare two or three times since my return to school.

As previously stated, ignore it or walk away as long as you can. I believe that it will self implode given enough time. The activists are starting to fall off the line here at my school. The current hive-mind is easily distracted and have begun to look for their next screaming point.

I’m more progressive that you/I’m more progressive than her/I’m more progressive than him.

Masculine/heterosexual/male

That should start some serious bush wars these days...

A great point. Some are walking in the door with a sense of entitlement, if I'm hiring I weed them out and save a lot of predictable problems.

Well, Shi/ts works for me.

Never seen stuff like this over here, but then I was a soldier, not a snowflake.

I want to end my signature like this:

Fast cars/Guns/Hot chicks

Since I have a name that is commonly a girls name, it will really confuse them.

"Hey you" is a perfectly acceptable statement.
