Dear Employer
I am writing to you with a concern regarding a shift in policy here at businessname .
I have recently been informed that there has been a change in company policy[1] which would require all employees to include preferred pronouns whenever they identify themselves. I understand that this change would require employees to list preferred pronouns in email signatures, business cards and to mention them when first being introduced to their colleagues.[2]
I am, of course, committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion and wholly support a person’s right to be called by the gender pronoun of their choosing. I’m also aware that this policy’s goal is to remove the stigma from a trans or non-binary person’s pronoun declaration; however, I believe that making this mandatory for all employees raises other concerns we should consider.
Mandating that all employees make this information public as a condition of employment is an unnecessary invasion of privacy. If a person is worried about being referred to by the wrong pronoun, they may choose to make their preferred pronoun known. But it is important to note that there are many people who, for various reasons, do not wish to declare their pronoun or gender identity.
Some people wish to transition but do not wish to make this information public, some people have never adopted a gender identity and do not wish to, some will be opposed to the idea of gender identity for religious reasons, while still others may simply feel their self-identification is no one else’s business. While a person may choose to list a pronoun if they wish, this can be done without requiring everyone to do so.
To ensure our company remains inclusive for all employees, I believe we must continue to respect the privacy of the workforce while allowing people who wish to present a particular gender identity to do so. The most effective way to do this is to make pronoun declaration and gender identification a voluntary matter. This way, no person is forced to share information they don’t wish to share, and anyone who wishes to declare their gender and state a preferred pronoun may do so.
Thank you for taking the time to consider my perspective on this matter. It would be great to get a meeting in the diary so we can discuss this further.
Sincerely,
Employee
