I'm looking forward to making people use the normal pronouns for me, but in a different order. His/he/him, and they need to say shit like "His forgot him laptop."

"I didn't speak to he."

Just to fuck with them you should put down that you identify as the opposite sex on every thrid Wednesday of the month.

I remember the days when there was a “rather not say” option.

It looks like we’re now being forced to enter pronoun bs.

Using pronouns in work email signatures may soon actually become a reality at this rate wtf.

It's kinda weird since second person in English doesn't even include gender. If you're talking with somebody you wouldn't even use gendered words, you is neutral.

This is something I find weird about all those "she/her" and "he/him" profiles. It's like people think they're hot topics that everyone is talking about lol

It's so that they can police how others talk about them in third person. It's a terrifying thought that this has become the norm.

Really USA is deep down with this shit. Funny. My preferred pronouns are "queen/the royal"

What the hell? Is there the option of refusing?

No. I just didn’t apply. Saved myself the drama. The company had bad reviews on Glassdoor anyway

Shit. Sorry you had to limit yourself because of genderwoo. You probably avoided a crap situation on the bright side.

Answer "I". And that if it's required. If it's not, don't answer at all.
