I always thought "uh, this thing with the pronouns in email signatures is just woke Nonsens, everyone knows what gender I am and want to be seen as" (and i still don't really get neo-pronouns, to be frank), but I now work in a very international environment, and I am so glad if people give me their pronouns, because I can't always tell which gender an Indian or Chinese name is. Honestly, it's just smart to add them and they just save everyone a lot of time/confusion.

I thought the same thing as well.

I have a few trans friends and neighbors who told me that basically when they came out and tried to change gender, no one would acknowledge their new identity. So it's a subtle way to inform other people.

Also, I have met more than a few people whom I had no idea of their gender. So it's actually great to read that pronoun because I don't like playing guessing games.

He's the pimple on my ass.

MAGA voters couldn't identify a pronoun in high school. How are they supposed to figure it out now?

They could read the Bible: I am he
