I hate how they started out as, "we need a gender neutral term" and became, "LOOK AT HOW VERY SPECIAL AND DIFFERENT I AM"

[(Anonymous)]

This. Like, I'm not memorizing a different new pronoun for every person who doesn't want to use singular they. There are limits. Especially ones that were obviously thought up on the internet and the person never bothered to use them in real life. Like xe - which as an amateur linguist I would immediately pronounce "she". What's the real purpose of this?

[(Anonymous)]

How many people have actually asked you to use neopronouns for them?

[(Anonymous)]

In real life, around five or so. On the internet, I forget cause it was All The Rage back in the aughts.

[(Anonymous)]

As a nonbinary person who dislikes neopronouns but lives in a place where nobody will even call me they/them, I honestly envy you.

Come to Portland! My company has rules and regulations of font, size, color, and positioning of putting pronouns in your email signature. They just sent out reminders of the rules a couple of weeks ago.

[(Anonymous)]

Do you have to do it if you don't want to? I'm agender.

[(Anonymous)]

Nope. My feelings about gender are "Whatever, I just work here." I prefer to never have to think of them in regards to myself, so I leave them off. They are a part of community life up here though, so my company has made room for them.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi, fellow agender person! Don't take AYRT seriously. No workplace has rules like that, AYRT is just sarcastically mocking Portland as an overly "woke" city.

[(Anonymous)]

???

As person above, yes... they do have rules for how to put pronouns in your email signature. You don't have to put them, but if you do, there are rules for how they should appear. Which you would know if you had bothered to read my reply above yours. Which means you're either an idiot or you're an asshole. So which is it?

Are you new to workplaces? I'm not in Portland, but our office (and most companies on my chunk of the East Coast) has rules for formatting, font size, etc. when it comes to email signatures. It's a fairly normal company practice that's in place to circumvent sparkle text sigs.

That said, my pronouns aren't in my sig because 1) I don't give a fuck which ones you use as long as they're consistent and 2) Creating a workplace expectation that people have to either out themselves or lie is not as inclusive as certain people think it is, and unlike other people, I've got nothing to lose if HR wants to confront me about it.

[(Anonymous)]

My workplace has rules like that. We get a quarterly email about signature formatting and what image we're currently supposed to use, including where to put pronouns if we wish to state them.

[(Anonymous)]

QUARTERLY??? I thought my company did it too much with an email every two years.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, it's due to the images they like us to use. They want any emails we send outside the company to match the current marketing campaign.
