Pronouns? Do you visibly share yours?

[Anonymous]

Do you have your pronouns in your email or other places?

I know a trainer who requires students use pronouns to be inclusive yet I wonder what if I am a "they" and don't want to share my pronouns? Then, I will lie to protect myself or not attend the training. That doesn't feel inclusive to me.

--Do people feel better when pronouns are shared?
--Is sharing pronouns always an inclusive act? Sometimes, the way people do it appears performative to me.

Nope

There are many threads on this already. I suggest you search the forum

No. And I have noticed that the trend is starting to fade.

I do. It doesn’t bother me if others do or not but I do it to make it more comfortable and inclusive for those who do it because otherwise they would be frequently misgendered.

No. Never will.

The bolded is directly contradictory.

Yes with my name on Zoom. My name is gender neutral and if my camera is off it's easier for others who haven't met me.

[Anonymous]

Yes with my sig file and on zoom.

[Anonymous]

No.

Do not plan to. Ever.

Depends on the context. I know people who are uncomfortable with sharing (if they are transitioning or not 100% comfortable with being out at work) and I also know people felt uncomfortable announcing their gender at work with there was a no-pronouns culture. So I think my preference would be that e.g. email signatures have a space for them and people can choose to use them or not, and I would probably go with whichever choice was less popular. (I use the pronouns generally associated with my name but don't care at all if people get them wrong.) From having talked to trans and nonbinary people, I think the issue is not nearly as clearcut as some people like to pretend (in either direction).

No. My name is obviously female.
