Small government regulating pronouns in worker's email signatures.
Regulations For Thee but Not for Me
Does that mean no-one can call him 'President' Trump or 'Mr' President any more?
Isn't president just a regular noun?

For the life of me, I can't understand why they care about someone's sexual orientation or their pronoun.
I ran the numbers on sex changes and it's like .001 of the population. It's a non-issue.
The real issues are homelessness, inequality, Internet privacy, poisons in our food and workers' rights..
Not fucking pronouns.
They don't care. The tactic is to have a minority that you can blame for all the bad things.
100 years ago it was the jews secretly running the world, today it's the evil trans people and immigrants conspiring to destroy The West™.
Trans are a small portion of the US and few people will care if they are rounded up and sent to camps. Doing so then normalizing that kind of behavior.
100 years ago they were also persecuting trans people. Here's a photo of them burning books in 1933, some of which were from the Institute of Sexual Science after it was raided by the Nazis. And it only got worse from there. Here's a whole article about it.
For the life of me, I can’t understand why they care about someone’s sexual orientation or their pronoun.
They don't. It's classic divide and conquer tactics to package up the general population into nice bite-sized chunks that they can destroy individually with minimal resistance from the others. Exact same shit is how the Nazis rose to power.

Got to distract from the real issues somehow. Gotta keep that wealth extraction and concentrating system of exploitation alive. Can't have the slave rising up to overthrow their masters again...

Sorry to all the Blakes, Dylans, Ashleys, Francises, Shannons, Frankies, Charlies, Rorys, Blairs, Leslies, Angels, Billies, Sams, Kellys, Danas, Harleys, Adins, Caseys, and all the other non-binary/gender neutral names that I can't think of right now.

Finally. Something that will bring down the cost of groceries...
Try stopping eating animals. Huge cut in groceries
Don't you know that adding your pronouns to an email costs an entire 6-10 bytes? There are children starving in Africa and you're wasting your bytes on pronouns! Shame on you.

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.

Of course. How else will we prevent future aviation disasters?
And lower the price of eggs
Eggs costing a lot is a good thing. Fossil fuels too. Switch to something better for the climate
