Re: Gender pronoun

Had to put my preferred pronouns twice now.
Very tempted to put Your Highness/Your Highness'...
But chicken out and put he/his.
Why do you have to put two, anyway? Does anyone put he/her, or she/his?

I will enlighten you all with a simple rule of thumb:
Has a cock = a man
Has a cunt = a woman.

Call me a cynic, but I think most people put their pronouns on their email because they are ambitious and brown nosing so that they can get a promotion.

How do they address this problem in Thailand where lady-boys or katoeys have a much higher profile?

Trouble is too many fuckwits will go along with this for the quiet life.
To be clear, anyone asks you put your pronouns on any form just to tell them to Fuck off.

Absolutely this. The famously woke company I woke for recently had a meeting via zoom that had over 100 hundred attendees. About 10% of people had added pronouns to their Zoom name. When I looked at their profiles they were mostly senior leadership and the ones who weren't were definitely careerists trying to ingratiate themselves with that leadership.
Woke has always been a top-down thing. Imposed by the upper-middle class and those who aspire to join them.

Iron Duke, that’s very true sadly and also the reason we are in this mess in the first place! Too many cowardly cunts unable to stand up for themselves.

This has gone rampant in a short amount of time and will be universal within two years with a small minority not joining in. It will become that way not because of the people who agree with it, but because of the people who disagree with it and go along for reasons of self interest ranging from wanting promotion to wanting a quiet life.

The other thing you’ll see is people who do it maintaining that they always listed their pronouns because they fully believe it is right and anyone who doesn’t do it is a nasty bigot. That’s much easier than admitting you are doing it because of self interest.

I have a business that specialises in LinkedIn. This he/she bollocks is getting more and more popular. They're like lemmings, thinking that if they add the he/she, they're being cool and understanding of everyone's feelings.
Which is bullshit. There is not a person on this earth that has no bias, has no distaste to certain minorities, has preconceptions, makes assumptions based on appearance.
Like it or not, we all judge others, as we can't help it. It's in our DNA as part as our survival instinct.
Instead of having to be Woke, PC, non sexist, why can't we be allowed to be ourselves and simply be honest with each other (without being rude or cuntish).
People putting themselves in boxes is not the way to encourage discussion, as it alienates others who don't understand their 'box'.
And men are getting so much shit lately, for being born as a man. Therefore we rape, beat our partners, all whilst earning more money than women. It's so skewed by a vociferous minority. Even fervent feminists are saying that it's gone to far.
Put a dress on if you like. Get your balls chopped off and invert your penis whilst you're at it. It's your choice and I don't care - but don't make me feel bad for having an opinion about it.

I would rather just be called or referred to as a cunt than have all this nonsense on my email etc
Many may think Iam anyway, but that’s all ok as well rather that than he/him etc
What’s the world come to anyway, fuck sake!

Its just attention seeking. Women and gay men are more susceptible to the need for validation. That's why most heterosexual men find this stuff silly.
What's most surprised me is how little its been mocked and abused. People randomly changing theirs every day, demanding to be called "your majesty" etc. By their own rules they'd have to honour you if you did it.
If enough people took the piss it would go away overnight. Go back to paragraph one for the reason why.
