Pronouns at work...

[truetuesdays]

I know this has been mentioned on here before but where do we actually stand on refusing to put our pronouns on email signatures?? How far can the employer actually take this? Messages come "from above" that we should all now be doing it. I'm not going to.

I'm tempted to just put he/him but I'm aware this is facetious (although what could they really say?)

This is in local government job.

"Trans people are not the only people whose feelings matter."

Are you sure, @MarieIVanArkleStinks? I'm not sure the activists would agree with you.

It is not a requirement, for all of the reasons mentioned above.

At my work it was requested in a mass email, but I ignored it. I see now and more people doing it but I will continue to hold out.

I'd be happy to stand my ground if personally asked.

It has just occurred to me that any push, however light, for people to disclosure of any protected characteristics could be seen as an infringement of their rights. And ppl asked to put pronouns could decline saying they do not wish to disclosure to the public their protected characteristics.

Is this sound? I’m going to post on all the pronouns threads to check.
