Quoted: Unless you have romantic or sexual relationships with your students, what difference does it make? View Quote Wait until you have the people that want you to call them - “Ze and Zir”. And what happens when every single person has their own special pronouns they go by? Or they are multiple personality and / or gender fluid, so you have to ask them each time you so each with them what their pronouns are? They could he today and she tomorrow. |

What is this "gender" shit?
Gender is a grammatical term used to classify WORDS. Animals are classified by their SEX. And finally, just because some mentally ill asshole guy wants to pretend he's a woman DOES NOT mean that I have to pretend he's a woman. And the same goes for some mentally ill asshole girl who wants to pretend she's a guy. |
|
People with multiple personalities or gender confusion use plural pronouns like "they" and "them". Or they make up shit like "Xe" and "Xim".
It does make it easier to know who to ignore, and it's a guaranteed way to know who is going to lose a fistfight. |

Quoted: I would just start calling everyone by their last name. No pronouns. Just as militant as possible. Fuck snowflakes View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: My sister teaches honors English at our local high school, over 25 years there. In the last five years she’s had an increasing number of these types of students thru her class. Males transitioning to female, females to males, IT’s and other mentally disturbed humans. Before each school year the teachers have to go thru sensitive feelz training refreshers as to not “offend” these challenged individuals. It’s sickening. Back in my day, you’d just kick their ass behind the gym after school. I would just start calling everyone by their last name. No pronouns. Just as militant as possible. Fuck snowflakes Heinlein was on to something I think... |

I appreciate it when people put their pronouns in their emails, etc.
It let's me know to keep them at arm's length.. |

Quoted: I see it in some business emails now. I know how to address Mike, Bob, Jane, and Jill but never having met Alopiai, Ndidi, or Bozxboqibouk I don't know if that's a male or female name (sorry those are the only choices you get). View Quote This is a really good point, actually. I have run into that type of situation several times, when I literally had no idea if the person was male or female. If everyone had their pronouns in email sigs, that would honestly make life a little easier. |

I got lectured when I put mine in my official signature block...
"King/ His Majesty, and Attached File " APPPAERNENTLY that is "unprofessional..." |

If people acted like fucking rational adults and didn't get butthurt if someone called them by the fucking pronoun. |

Fuck this. Whenever I see it on someone's profile or email I chalk them up to a dumbass and ignore them. On a resume, hahaha.... you're definitely are not getting hired.

My pronoun is "His Imperial Majesty"
You bigoted shitlords better respect that |
|
Nobody has ever asked for my pronouns. If they did, I would require that they refer to me as "his royal majesty." Because if they don't accept my preferred pronoun, by definition they are intolerant and creating a hostile work environment, right?

My opinion - he /him, she / her in an e-mail where you’re not sure their gender, fine, it’s somewhat practical. The rest of this, it’s getting out of hand. Wait until before any introduction, including in person, you and everyone else has to give their preferred pronouns. Better not mess up and “misgender” someone when you call them zie instead of ve.

So far, every time it's been a person whose name doesn't automatically make ot obvious. Some people get tired of people referring to the, as "him" or "her" wrongly. So far, every time it has been an obvious genetic female noting her use of the normal she/her expected of a genetic female. Not sure why this gets conflated with the crazies like in your image. Some people have names that aren't obvious. |

Oh Jesus, thanks OP! Now I know how to troll people in corporate emails from now on! Only a few years left to retire and dammit, I am going to have FUN!

I work with one person that had their pronouns in their email signature.
Their first name is Jaime, and she's definitely female. Most older individuals do Mr/Ms/Mrs in front of their name. Kharn |

Quoted: I stupidly like asked why did she need to put her personal pronouns down. She said it was to help normalize regular gender and transgender people and make everything seem normal. Which I think I might’ve smiled and said oh then I got it right the first time. Is this a thing? View Quote I had a butch lesbian professor try this on our class almost 25 years ago. She wasn't pleased when I insisted that I needed to be addressed as Lord. Only fucking D I ever earned in college. |

Or better yet wait until it becomes a hate crime to not use someone’s preferred pronouns. End this garbage now instead of normalizing it. |

I had a professor ask us to do that. Now I'm not saying I'm some kind of hero, but..... I didn't do it.
I figure if he gets my pronouns wrong, I won't be the one who should be embarrassed |
