Or maybe they are just trying to avoid an expensive/time consuming lawsuit from some overly litigious type and this was the simplest, least expensive way to do that. Maybe they already got hit with a lawsuit and this is their answer. It's a stupid charade but maybe it's smarter to include pronouns in emails than waste hundreds of man hours in sensitivity seminars every time someone gets offended by a work email using the wrong lingo in a company of thousands


like clockwork.

Get some correspondence from time to time where the sender has done this. Can't imagine anyone having an issue with it. I always start an email with Mr. or Ms. so and so...can't always tell what sex someone is from their name, let alone their gender. If it hurts their feelings I hate it for them and if they will tell me what the prefer I will use it but leave me to my own devices and Ima failsafe to 58 years of doing the same shite. I am willing to change, just let me know...if you don't I ain't....

so in all seriousness... I am a straight white male...wtf pronoun am I? and what does that even mean?

I feel I'm a pretty smart guy but half these pronouns don't make sense to me when used in a sentence, the grammar is all off.

I would ask to not be included, and if that was disregarded, I'd go from there.

I would make an issue out of it. Put something offensive like "Toxic Male". Then I'd see what happened and take it up a notch from there.

I'm in a position to say "frick you, fire me". 10 years ago I don't know if I'd have played along or not.

I just wouldn't do it. They cannot fire you for refusing to put them on the e-mail. And if they did you just sue them for violating your religious rights.

What pronoun does a straight white male use?


Just put "normal pronouns" or "drunk degen", whichever fits best.

I mean, it's already worked elsewhere.

So again, I would make them fire me then sue.

A gender reveal is when you announce to everyone what gender your kid is gonna be. A sex reveal is when you tell a chick you just came inside her.

Something fun I found is you can really depersonalize/dehumanize people with pronouns. I like using gender neutral ones, especially it -- it makes for some funny interactions. Just use they/them/theirs/it/you for everything and play dumb.

Dunno, but when I get a business email with pronouns in the sig it's a red flag that the company will be a pain in the arse to deal with, so I start to look for alternatives.
