This is so stupid. I know plenty of cishet people who include their pronouns in their sig because they have a gender neutral name.

Or, in my case, for solidarity and normalizing it.

Yes, this is why they care. It's part of woke ideology.

That is why I do it three!

My name tag at work also has my pronouns on it.

Ty for being an ally, king.

Of course it's daft to mandate what people can and can't put in their email footers but I don't get why people put pronouns in footers.

I'm cis male and he/him. Others can call refer to me as it/them or she/her if they wish.

I dislike bananas but I don't put that in my email footer.

I haven't seen it in a while anyway. I thought it was a fad from the late 10s

Privilege. Privilege is the reason you don’t understand.
