How to use email signature to push back against "preferred pronouns"?

I have refused, and leave it blank. I think it's utterly ridiculous. I keep getting "reminded", and everyone else seems to have done so, but I won't.
I was tempted to write "hag/crone"

I wrote 'No preferred pronouns' in the DEI box at my workplace. People get strangely perturbed when I assure them that I have no preference 😂

Just ignore their pronouns, It’s getting petty

When the pronouns on email signature thing first came in a few years ago at my workplace (an incredibly captured charity) my brilliant boss at the time said she wouldn’t be putting hers up and she would take her chances being misgendered.

Well no she obviously doesn’t have to, but if @DuchessofReality had a unisex name but wanted to make it clear she was a woman, then writing (Ms) after her name would be the way to do it. I don’t like it much because the styling comes from the days where women were expected to clarify their marital status, but if you fear being mistaken for a bloke, it does the job.

Someone I know, who is known for not suffering fools, uses "XX chromosomes" when she feels the need.

I wouldn’t put any pronouns in a clergy email signature, just encourages the anti women lot. I have a female boss (clergy) and refer as revered xxxx (surname) to be professional unless I know the person calling because some people ask can they speak to a man instead!

Just don’t use pronouns in your email signature, there’s no need to turn it into a soapbox

"I don't feel comfortable being forced to choose a gender."

It’s particularly alienating for clergy to put pronouns in their signature. Given your identity as a Christian is in Christ and it’s a life where you strive to live a life like Jesus being selfless and serving others. It signals to me a belief system above God and I would leave a church if the clergy had pronouns.

Interestingly the church with the biggest growth in younger people is the Catholic Church - I really don’t think it’s a good idea for the CofE church to embrace a different belief system to God created man and woman and he saw that his creation was good.

For yours I’d just leave them off but I’d have to engage in some way with the people who had them as I think it’s that bad in the church as it’s so counter to the teachings. We should love everyone where they’re at and humans are not perfect but the clergy should also lead by example and pronouns doesn’t do that. :(

I’ve ignored the pronoun requests since our company requested we add them to our email since 2016.

I’ve just ignored every request and not done it. One of my AGMs has ignored it too.

I’ll wait to see what their next approach is. In the meantime I’m just not adding them. There is a transgender person in my team and they’ve never asked me why not. I’m so far just keeping quiet.

Everyone in my workplace other than me has pronouns in their signature. Never had a conversation about it - I just don't do it.

I feel saying nothing is saying a lot. Leave it blank and show you won’t engage in this nonsense. Treat it like it doesn’t exist and that will help normalise it not being there.

You don't need to make it clear that you're female though, if your name is more unisex. They don't need to know.

It's enough not to include your pronouns. Albless I feel very strongly about the harm done by gender identity ideology. But, we need to stop politicising every aspect of our lives. There will be people who disagree with you on this for various reasons, some of them may agree with you in the future and they're just not there yet. But in the meantime, they're people who you probably have a lot in common with, and depending on your position, maybe they'll need your help as a member of the clergy. If it comes up, it comes up and you can address it then.

I have not included pronouns and I respect people who don’t more than those that have. Some people I know have put her/she/they/them. I don’t know what that is all about! I also notice who has added pronouns and take a mental note and will await when they are deleted, which no doubt, one day they will be! I have noticed more women than men have used them.

I don’t add mine. I feel like I’m the only
one without them. I was at a meeting and we introduced ourselves, people were saying their name and title and then “ my pronouns are - blah blah “ when it got to me I just said my name and title and there was a silence …….. it felt like ages but I’m sure it wasn’t. But after that several other women didn’t use pronouns. I feel people are scared not to use them - it’s fear of being cancelled and it has to stop.

Someone once pointed out that you only use pronouns when you’re talking about someone not to them so it’s pointless

“My chromosomes are XX”

I really wouldn’t do this. Keep your work email professional and to the point.

I don’t like people who bring their activism into work (which I consider this to be) so I’m not going to do it myself.

Just don't use them. It won't be professional to have a counter to it in your signature, just as it isn't bloody professional for them to describe their pronouns in theirs.

I’ve been tempted to put a sarky pronouns: I, me, mine, but decided that I wouldn’t stoop to their level. Instead I have insisted on a standard signature template for my team - and make a mental note of the people who use them and file under ‘idiot’.

I agree with not having them.
The vast majority of people won’t notice the omission.
My email footer at work has my name and post nominate, then my company name & address.

Agree.
