EU stance on forced use of pronouns

[Orangeblossomfield]

I live in the EU. Members of our management have started using pronouns in their email signature. Nobody has been asked yet but I'm getting my argument ready for when we are, as I don't want to.

I've found some UK specific stuff, nothing relating to the country I live in (don't want to share where I am) but would like some general EU legislation. Tried googled it but no idea what I'm looking for.

Thanks

Unless people have to put all equality characteristics in emails, it is discriminatory.

So gender, sex, sexual orientation, disability, religion, etc.

All or nothing. Can't have one rule for one.

Great, thank you for a very good point

Also, in many EU countries, data protection laws are even stricter than they are here. Eg you would not be able to ask someone their ethnic origin. Have they correctly processed the data they are collecting on people's "gender"? Typically this is considered more sensitive data than data on sex.

I would take a breather, because this may not affect you. You may never be asked to do this directly because they might not want to have those awkward conversations.

Basically, they don't have the right to define your identity for you, or to dictate that you express it to everyone you email. Say as little as possible, maybe nothing at all. Don't get angry, upset, or confrontational because they will feel like they're on to something. If you can, behave in a relaxed, understanding manner if you are asked anything, but patiently maintain your boundaries.
