re: To what level do you just completely dismiss someone that lists their pronouns anywhere?

but a lot of these people have been coerced into adding pronouns.

On social media it is a completely done on their own

I was in federal court for a jury trial last year. The judge required every attorney to introduce himself or herself with preferred pronouns, and demanded the same of all prospective jurors. Every day, I feel like I'm drowning in a rising tide of partisan ignorance. Intelligence, talent, diligence, truth, honor, decency mean very little. It's depressing.

I kindly reply to their email with my name "not mentally ill" as my pronoun. Frick these idiots.

I'm in SaaS sales, so I see this a lot. I used to just completely disregard it and go about the generic sales process, rolling my eyes when not on camera.

But I figured out that certain "buzzwords" and phrases are more effective with the type of person who lists their pronouns in their Zoom display or email. Almost without exception, I'll know instantly what they are going to care about and what isn't a priority.



Definitely tells me a lot about the prospect right away.

Personally I think these people are silly, but I'm not trying to be their friend, I'm trying to sell them a product.

Haven't experienced this yet. That would be uncomfortable.
