I’ve never done this, but this would make me start doing it

I, too, dislike being employed.

But seriously most people will not risk their livelihood for it. It is almost guaranteed to end up in court like so many other of their bullshit policies.

They're getting fired eventually anyway, they had pronouns in their sig in the first place.

Got a source for that, or are you making up your own inflamatory "facts" again?

...Trump offered all federal employees 7 months salary to quit. He signed two executive orders today to unilaterally dissolve some federal agencies.

You logically cannot believe hes not in his night of long knives period. Someone with the care to put pronouns in their work communication isn't loyal to Trump, and thus logically wouldn't survive the firing and agency shutdowns Trump is currently actively doing.

I get you disliked China and Chinese people but are you really letting that poison your logic to the point you're ignoring reality. Is your insistence that Chinese people are wrong in all things worth not paying attention to the half dozen executive orders a day which is actively getting the US government?

So no. Just more lies and distortions. Trump is plenty bad without making up lies.

My antipathy is towards those who, like you, consistently advocate for the authoritarian CCP, whilst also trying to incite people against their own governments.

I'll start requesting people to use thee/thou soon.
