First time I have had someone reply with this after their name. I know the whole pronouns business so perhaps it is a surprise it has taken until now. But the thing that struck me is it is not a neutral statement; it comes across as a stamp of authority/control. We live in a sexist society where is it acknowledged additional supports need to be in place for women. Yet here we are in a situation where men proclaim their status in their emails. "I am male, I am from the oppressor class, I am your lord and master"

Is this just me?

I agree, it really isn't a neutral statement.

work in a woke sector so lots of the bepronouned. I roll my eyes and think less of the organisation they work for that they make people do it

Not just you. That's how I feel too.

Nope. It makes my hackles raise for the same reason.
