Pronouns? Do you visibly share yours?

Yep, on all my work stuff. I'd rather it be the norm to make other people feel comfortable and welcome, and this is zero lift action on my part and causes me no harm.

Besides, kids aren't using older people logic when they use people's pronouns. They are just doing what the person would like. Again, not a painful thing to do to be thoughtful.

I do, and just recently decided to after thinking, like several of the previous posters on this forum that it was either (a) virtue signaling, or (b) unnecessary, since my name and appearance are obviously male and my pronouns are he/him.

What I realized was that I was not doing it for me, or to help other people identify me. I was doing it for other people that needed or wanted to share but did not want to be singled out as doing so.

Yes, it feels kind of weird and virtue-signally, and I think the population that it helps is small, but...so what? It doesn't hurt me in any way.

My grammar stung hand from whacks by the catholic nuns refuses to allow me to acknowledge a plural pronoun for a singular person. It stats to twitch violently when I read that plural pronoun being used for a person.

Nope. Never gonna.

No, unless you are anything other than heterosexual, it is performative.

No, but my name is gender specific so I guess that's visible.

It’s a thing for my company. It’s actually helpful because we’re a really international team and most of us have non-English, non-Western names that aren’t obviously gendered unless you are from the same language and culture as your colleague. Not everyone’s profile includes a photo and we have our fair share of definitely gendered Sams and Alexs, for example, so it’s nice to be able to use the right pronoun if you’re getting a form from accounting from a Sam you’ve never met in-person.

The people who do use they/them are all younger and there doesn’t seem to be any fuss about their pronouns. Some older people include no pronouns but they’re in the minority and it isn’t a big deal.

No, my private life is private.

This is when it makes sense. And I do fret regularly over foreign name when I am not sure if it is a man or woman.

I’m queer and I still won’t do it.

No, because I have no problem with any pronouns used to describe me. Feel free to use any pronouns including talking to me in the third person in front of me.
