Is this ok for my email pronouns

[ohhmyown]

My company has an auto filed message under our email signatures

Xxx asks colleagues, clients and partners to respect that my pronouns are ... ( I fill this)

I want to put.... Myname. Which is obviously female as Its a classic British name, but often clients I deal with in the EMEA areas write to me as my surname or Mr surname, just assuming I'm a man and you know what I just don't care. I don't want to write she/ they/ that/ wear a hat.

Me/my/mine?

“Whatever you wish”
“Whatever you think fits “

I'd like to fill it in with 'not relevant to the job I am doing' but that's the trouble maker in me.

I'd either leave it blank or fill it in with my surname.
Or go and get a doctorate.

I would just delete it.

Others can talk about their pronouns if they want.

If pushed, say you haven't made your mind up and need time to think.

Delete it.

Yes, you could always tell them that this situation has triggered you and you’re not sure yet if you’re ready to reveal your choices.

Seriously, this is a bit wtf. Surely some people might actually want to keep this private/think it’s not their colleagues business. Would the company make everyone say on their email if they’re straight or gay?

Can't you just delete the whole section?

Tree/Trim

My manager has asked me to complete it as I've left it for the last 3 months so it reads on my emails. I don't think I can put it off much longer, most people are playing the game.

I have

Myname, mysurname
Xxxx swanky job title
company logo and blurb then
Xxx asks colleagues, clients and partners to respect that my pronouns are insert choices

I can delete the footer on each email every-time yes

Can you put 'undecided'?

Or 'private'

"Yours to choose"

It/its and take great offence if they add an apostrophe.

Can you write, "I prefer not to state my pronouns but please use whatever you feel comfortable with."

I think it avoids the issue in quite a professional manner and leaves just enough room to infer that you might be gender fluid etc, so hopefully people wont press you.

Go back to your manager and say that you don't want to have pronouns in your signature, because:

1. some trans people might not be 'out' at work yet - so you're basically forcing them to misgender themselves with every email they send.
2. drawing attention to the fact that you're female has shown to have negative consequences in the way people treat you (usually subconsciously) so you'd prefer not to.

They won't know what to do with that

...related/matched to my biology

Oh I like Havelock's second point. You could link to some research about everyday sexism.

I’d put “name/name’s” - totally valid as that would help others to identify you as you identify yourself, rather than using your surname by accident, which is apparently the whole point of it.

Otherwise as a PP says above “please use whichever you feel comfortable with” as that says enough - but not too much - about your attitude to gender.

... in line with usual English language conventions.

I would just put my name, or prefer not to say
Then if challenged I would just say that’s what I want, end of

Gender/Paygap

“Private”

I'm so glad I work somewhere this will never be imposed.

PP is right that it's harmful to trans people and females.
