Name badge...it's happening

[Isthisexpected]

Been told my new name badge with my pronouns on is coming next week. I haven't even been asked what my pronouns are... I don't intend to wear it because I don't hold the belief system it represents. But I now fear for my job/ stress levels are raised thinking about what's to come. Ignoring it is no longer an option...that has worked with email signatures....

What have you done?

That is a very impressive list. OP, how about printing it out - you'll need a lot of paper!- handing the paperwork to the badge monitor and saying that you've not yet decided and it may take some time.

Tiny dinosaur?

“My pronouns are fully inclusive, they are WE and US. Please do not put exclusionary pronouns on my badge as I find them triggering. Thank you.”

With apologies to Adam and the Ants.

The devil take your pronouns and your prepositions,
All I want is I, me, my and my born sex recognition.

Say your pronouns are private under GDPR rules. 😁

Absolutely my response.

Honestly this is just embarrassing. I wouldn't work in a dump like that and I'd tell them why too.

My pronouns would be fuck off/fuck off some more 😂

I'd send them this.

Tell them you would rather not have pronouns on your badge. If pressed for why, tell them you don’t feel comfortable with the pronouns they have chosen for you, but that you haven’t yet chosen which ones you want to use. Basically imply that you might be trans and that it’s not okay to “out” you. They should back right off.

I quite like these pronouns...... ?/?s/?s/?/?self

XXe/XXer
XYi/XYim

Haven't RTFT either, so apologies if it's been said. You could have:

not having/any pronouns

Here. Take your pick.

I have gone with "your majesty/your highness", as uninformative as can be, sex neutral, batshit, stupid, meaningless, etc.

For some reason I got no pronouns on my badge, can't think why not.

I gave this some consideration the other day and decided if I was ever forced to have pronouns in my e-mail signature, I would list them as he/they.

That way, anyone sensible will continue to use my correct sex-based pronouns and the terminally obsessed will tie themselves in knots, trying to be polite.

I've never discussed this at work, I think I'd keep saying
I dont understand. Oh i seeeee.,
No thank you/No.

That San Fancisco application form - pronouns (check all that spply) 🤣

Pronouns are a normal part of speech. Nobody owns pronouns.

Yes and it can be very confusing. This morning, my daughter told me about a TA in a lesson yesterday, who's a man, but "fluid." She confused he and they several times. Apparently, he's happy to be male and when she called him Sir, he told her,

"Not Sir, it's Jet."

FFS!

You could always say that your pronouns are FO / AD.

Are you sure that's not just him wanting to be informal?

Madness although the op could do with one of them at the end - no pronouns / just name or declined

I used to think it was an option to turn it back on them and out “woke” them, or play dumb, but it’s too important. It needs a clear “No” and “Here’s why”, knowing your belief if protected as per Forstater. Otherwise they think people are silly, don’t get it, ignorant and are generally dismissive. Everyone who objects should strenuously object and make their feelings known, so these idiots realise it’s not just “a few” who won’t go along with it. Be brave. Maya was.

My issue is I don't have a gender. In fact, I'd prefer people if they are talking about me in the third person - I.e. I'm not present because otherwise it would be fucking rude to use a pronoun - to decide for themselves what pronoun to use for me because I'm quite relaxed and don't mind people using whatever they like.

I'd be incredibly distressed and triggered if someone asked what my pronouns were as that forces me to reveal I don't have a preference.

While there are some very amusing responses here, in practice what I would do if I was the op was wear the badge but put a plain sticker over the pronouns. Then probably nobody will notice but if they do say either you are not comfortable sharing your pronouns or that it doesn’t fit your belief system, depending on how open you are comfortable being.
