She/hers everyhere on event programme i'm attending, what do I do?

If they ask when you go to pick up your badge, just tell them you don't identify as someone with pronouns and just your name will be fine.

Waiting for the update OP. I always worry about this too, although in reality probably nothing happens 😂

Just don’t wear the badge. It won’t come up in conversation. Enjoy the event x

"I'd rather just have my name on my badge please"

Just treat is as a social observation experiment.

What do all the she/hers mean in reality?
My friend is the only person that doesn't display her pronouns with her organisation. She isn't particularly gc in the sense that it's something she takes a deeper dive into rather than applying her common sense. The majority of the others are unlikely to have considered it at all.

I can't make a scene as its her event but everyone will have name badges including me

Accidentally losing your badge isn't making a scene.

This! Hope you enjoy the conference op.

When I see “she/her” on social media, I assume it’s a bloke.

Real life / education I’m guessing handmaidens.

Hey Ho.

let us know how it goes

The 'you want rapists in woman's prison?!' argument is just one example of the cold hard reality.

TWAW or TWAnotW. Either some rapists have every right to be in women's prisons because they are TW and TWAW, or no man is a woman, ever, in any way at all.

Reminds me of attending (observing) a trans rights protest... after being identified as a "TERF" due to asking a Lib Dem councillor what rights trans people didn't have (he refused to answer, obviously), I ended up laughing in the face of a middle aged woman who was absolutely incandescent with rage at the idea that her relationship with a TIM (much less angry, holding his wife back, saying "it's not worth it"!) was not a lesbian one!

"You don't honestly believe that TWAW do you, I thought everyone agreed it was just a polite thing to say... OMG, you really believe it... [covers mouth to suppress guffaws]" is the sort of respect GI and the victims who claim to believe in it deserves.

What about deliberately holding a weetabix under hot milk until it gives in and disintegrates? Asking for a friend, I am a granola person myself.

Haha! That will sort out the geese and swans from the foxes and the rabbits, AND give the wallabies something to think about. 🐿

(I am starting my own identity identifier labels, I think they will catch on.)

My pronouns are I, me, he, she, him, her, they, them, we, our, my etc etc dependent to who I am referring to when I am speaking.

My pronouns are never he / him or she / her for someone I am talking to.

My pronouns are not at all interested in someone's gender identity, to the point that the only men I would consider referring to as "she / her" are gender critical gay men (and only then in very specific jokey circumstances where I was confident of not causing offence).

.

"As a straight woman I could never date someone with a vagina even though I love men and some men have vaginas. Is my sexual orientation evidence of my transphobia and if so how can I become less bigoted?"

Are you actually ok? 🤣

I've never been to a conference where everyone wears their badge. You're not a speaker or there in a professional capacity. You're not there to network, unless I've misunderstood. So if you want to speak up, do, but dropping the badge into your pocket / handbag and heading off to check out the buffet would be the most obvious course of action for me.

If someone asked me my pronouns, I'd be asking, incredulously, in a pretty pissed off manner, "What?? Are you saying you can't tell that I'm a woman???" and act as offended as I could.

Brave is maybe incorrect. Reckless combined with a genuine "don't give a f-" attitude to things like the fact I can't be bothered with people who are idiots or people who cannot handle hearing my honest opinions, not least because I am pretty self-sufficient and don't fear losing friends.

I also don't care if people think I am ranting like a loony - not least because every single one of these ideologues knows full well that they have a mother and father with XX and XY chromosomes respectively. I wish I was better at showing more calm reason in conversations.

Stabbing a Weetabix doesn't exactly shock anyone here, you numpty.

When it would be too awkward to outright refuse, I say that my pronouns are (n/a). Or (Flibbertyfloo/Flibbertyfloo's).

If they give you the badge already done, just nicely say there seems to be a mistake and ask for a blank tag and pen to write yourself one, just putting your name. That way anyone you're talking to will just assume you were a late addition hence no printed badge.

I fail to see why it would come up in conversation, unless one of the themes of the conference was gender/trans policy in education or something.

Just politely send a note to say you'd rather not have pronouns on your badge.

It's someone in HR ticking boxes at the conference organiser. I doubt all the people wearing it think TWAW and men should be in women's spaces.

Don't let it distract you from what could be an interesting experience.

I just say call me Mrs please. Or Miss as the case may be.
