So we recently had an email come round work "encouraging" people to add their pronouns to their email signatures.
Currently ignoring it - apparently it is voluntary (yes, voluntary like filling in our info re gender etc on the system is voluntary and we get regularly hounded to do that on a "voluntary" basis - also ignoring that) and don't intend to do so.
However, not updating ones email signature is more visible than not updating HR info and I need some facts in my armour.
I am sure that I read something that the whole pronoun thing is detrimental to women because (a) it reinforces unconscious bias against women and (b) it also has a negative effect on women as they are reminded they are women and down in the pecking order (don't think I have worded that quite correctly...)
Does anyone know what I am talking about?
