Adding your preferred pronouns to your email signature when your name is unambiguously in line with your gender (eg: John Smith, he/him) is just a way to show that you are liberal. Change my mind.

In that situation, Isn’t the goal not to have people know your pronouns or to show you are liberal/conservative, but for heteronormative ppl ro make it easier for trans people to communicate theirs?

Is that not true anymore?

If by liberal you mean open-minded and respectful, then yes.

If this bothers you, you're a bigot. Change my mind.

No secret agenda. I just like to hear other people’s points of view in an anonymous forum. In real life you can’t really do that anymore with certain individuals because you risk losing your job or get your tires slashed. I disagree that when science and sociology don’t get along, sociology trumps science. And i didn’t know that some scientists consider gender and sex to be different.

But what if you have an ambiguous name like Pat or Leslie? Or what if you work with people that are not in your country and may not know what an unambiguous name looks like?

How about we just don’t care? If someone calls you by the wrong pronoun or something you don’t like why does that bother you? I genuinely DGAF what 99% of people that I interact with on a daily basis think or say about me. Toughen up… life isn’t easy and we all have our challenges to overcome.

Do NOT claim you are "colorblind" in the workplace. 1. DE&I knowledge is now a core leadership competency. Colorblind claims will earn you the reputation of being DEI-ignorant at best & racist at worst. 2. Colorblindness within the context of workplace diversity is an obvious lie. You do NOT want to be painted as an intellectually dishonest leader. 3. Colorblind claims signal that you lack the leadership skills & vocabulary to have key conversations. Ask questions here, in this safe space.
