MAGA voters couldn’t identify a pronoun in high school. How are they supposed to figure it out now?
Doesn’t go far enough, remove pronouns from the email body too.
To it may concern. Notice did not complete task before deadline. Please can provide update? Look forward to reply.
Don’t think whom is a pronoun, is it?
You used it
Someone’s about to get fired…
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?

Thanks for the hot tip!
Not being a smarmy goit is cool
Go for it
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™.
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.
And once again the population isn’t ready…

- dipshits in the US who think we’re somehow better than the average German citizen in the 1930s
Despite people perhaps still believing this, I believe it was largely disproven in the 1960s by the Milgram experiment.
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…
The same can be said for all those years wasted shaming people into using gender neutral language and adding pronouns to communications
Maybe we should not waste any time on this
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.
-signed a person with a non-binary name
Names are nouns not pronouns
Even for gender cishet people a Dylan, Casey or Sam might be a “he/him” or “she/her” and its just not obvious from the name.
So?
Does that mean we all have to waste our time with pronouns?
I can think of only one time I thought a female was a male from their name. It was not a problem. The name was Noel
Seems like the name argument is no argument at all
Don’t you think it’s more of a waste of time to throw a bitch fit about it?
we, our, and I are all pronouns. Yes, we pretty much need to use pronouns.
So?

Sounds good ma’am. Have a great one
Oh you’re not a sane person.
Pronouns are optional. Nobody is forcing you to list them.
Finally. Something that will bring down the cost of 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.
And, the tariffs will bring them up
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’s why I do it too!
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.
Of course. How else will we prevent future aviation disasters?
And lower the price of eggs
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?
I’ll start requesting people to use thee/thou soon.
Does that include Mr. Mrs. and other gendered titles?
That’s not a pronoun, but it could function as a replacement to skirt this ruling, assuming it doesn’t include gendered honorifics.

Of course not, those are heteronormative.
And yet again, the Tangerine Palpatine is focusing on stupid shit.
Farmers unable to gather their harvest? The working and middle classes being squeezed into oblivion? Grocery prices skyrocketing? Unknown drones taunting our military bases? Military helicopters colliding with commercial jets?
Nah, none of that stuff matters! Instead we just focus on fucking pronouns in emails!
What an absolute fucking joke.
Edit: fixed a typo.
Nah, none of that stuff matters!
No, not to him, that’s the point.
How much more deliberate in their oppressing and exploiting do those in power need to be before people stop expecting any different?
They’re there to serve themselves, not society
The communist leader of northern Venezuela is mandating how to conduct your business, how to write, how to speak.
Party of small government, rule of law and free markets.
Mexican here. We’re Northern Venezuela. We’ll let you have Northern Cuba.
All fascists need to take dirt naps
Legal disclaimers often have pronouns, right?

Malicious compliance it and replace all of the pronouns: “The information contained in this email message is intended only for the personal use of the recipient(s) named above.

Fuck 'em. I’m sure with a bit of work they could come up with some stuff that renders it nearly unreadable.
Um, I didn’t see where it said to replace pronouns with anything, only to remove them. So the correct verbiage would clearly be:
