Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

Sharing Pronouns

I know this has been discussed a lot but I haven't come across it personally until now. I am doing a presentation for a client, who I can't afford to lose. They have sent me a template for my slides and it includes putting my pronouns against my name. I have just ignored this and put my name in but I don't know what to do if they come back and ask me to put in pronouns. I feel very strongly that asking me to share pronouns means they are asking me to sign up to a gender ideology that I don't believe in so ideally I would refuse. At the same time, I can't afford to annoy them as I am earning hardly anything at the moment and need the money. Any advice?

Just leave it blank. Don't worry.
I highly doubt anyone is going to contact you "oh there's some terrible mistake here, you haven't included your pronouns!" Or something. They'll probably not notice.

Just put your pronouns FFS, it's just a one off.

You're not going to radically change this client's mind by not including them, it's a pointless hill to die on.

Actually it is the first step up the hill that I am prepared to die on.

Gender ideology is invidious, it's adherents see a small acquiescence as a wide open door through which they can steam roller anything - see Scottish legislation

So no. It's not 'just' anything.

It's part of the drip drip of normalising the idea that 'gender' matters more than sex.

Just leave it blank OP.
