Witnessed first email signature preferred pronouns

[Orion922]

Needed to reference a phone number in email signature. Before stated name in signature desired preferred pronouns were listed. I looked up what this means but it still confuses me. If one’s name is in email signature why does one need to state “she, her, etc.?”

I work in corporate life. It's because the name doesn't always indicate the pronoun they want used.

Because people are mental.

I'm honestly not sure how it works either. The only example I can think of is in a John Wayne movie "Angle and the badman" the religious girl calls John Wane "the", then explains why. Maybe I'll look it up someday.

I saw my first. It was a she/her/hers, they only I’ve seen so far. Not surprised considering the person it came from. Not someone who identifies differently each day, but someone who overthinks these situations, I guess you could say. Corporate email.

It could have come in handy for me a while back. Sending an email to person at another Air Force Base, the recipient's name was Brandy. I started it with "Ms Last name". Turns out, Brandy was a guy. We ended up working together a few years after that and he said I was definitely not the first.

This is more and more common. Our company directory has an option for it. It's a key part of diversity and inclusion programs.

Just use They/them and you can get away with so much.

The good thing about stated pronouns....you'll know who needs a safe space

[Mizzou211]

Yeah we have an option for it now as well. I've only seen a couple that weren't what you'd expect, but one was something along the lines of "Heather XXXXX, he/him/his".

Interviewed several candidates for an opening and on their resume it was asked of them how they wanted to be addressed….he, she or other

Watch Jeopardy??

She is a very smart Lady.

[Babe Winkleworm]

Not only that but....She'd kick yer ass in arm wrestling 2 out of 3 times as well.

how very true


at times, I identify as an attack helicopter

You should have heard the military folks I was working with a couple of years ago when all that started.

I had classes of 25 people or so back then, my wife is a professor at the local university. We both decided that everyone got called with name they registered for class.

I was having a discussion about this lunacy with a friend a few months back and how much it irritated both of us. A few weeks later I go an email from him from his work account an his signature block contained “pronouns: I, me, mine”
