Sharing pronouns at work

[Anonymous]

I'm a female with a female sounding name in a very male industry. I have considered using a more androgynous name for work. I don't care if people who haven't met me assume I'm male, and in fact I would see this as a benefit to help mitigate conscious/unconscious bias against females. I've experienced so much sexism at work I don't want to bring attention to the fact that I'm female. Expecting everyone to list pronouns would be very tone deaf, and I hope companies aren't doing that.

Global teams is actually where sharing pronouns is useful. There are hardly and trans people.

Why do they need to share three of them? Why not just say (male)?

Are there trans people who identify as one gender on the subjective and a different gender in the objective, or a third in the possessive?

Yes, Halsey is a she/they.

I don’t share mine. I have an ambiguous name and I like that my gender is not a consideration when communicating. I hate this stupidity. Sorry.

They are. It pisses me off. I am a “she” but only if you know me. If you don’t know me personally and can’t tell, why does it even matter?!

Same. In fact, if I was misgendered as a man, it would probably work in my favor.

I’m female and get misgendered all the time in emails. Why on earth would I list my pronouns when I could enjoy that sweet, sweet male privilege?

This.

Many states are requiring teachers and government workers to state pronouns on all correspondence.

I’m a cis white female and list my pronouns in my email signature. My LGBTQAI colleagues appreciate it and it’s easy enough for me to do. I work in healthcare and when we share our pronouns, it gives pts permission to share theirs.

I will never share my pronouns in an e-mail or any other form of communication.

Also, I don't care about your pronouns.

How do you know your colleagues appreciate it? Maybe they don't really want to, but they are sharing pronouns because they feel obligated once you share yours.

I don’t share my pronouns bc I don’t care if you call me by the wrong ones.

I hate this peer pressure conformist BS. Put them in, don’t put them in. Have whatever pronouns you want. We are allowed to be different and that means we can have different views on when and how to share our pronouns, whatever they might be.

Do the As and the Is have a particular interest in pronouns?

This shit has gotten to the point of being a parody of itself.

First of all, if we are corresponding you aren’t going to USE my pronouns to refer to me. You don’t need them. I have a name. fFS.

I don't understand why it matters whether the coworker is a man or a woman.

I work globally & often don’t know whether the person I am working with is a man or a woman and as far as I can recall, it hasn’t mattered.

I’m often not using pronouns- I’m saying their name or you or I.
